TGV inOui

TGV inOui is the brand name of TGV train services operated by the SNCF since 27 May 2017 on certain high speed rail services.[1] The brand is in the process of replacing 'classic' TGV services until 2020, along with the low-cost Ouigo brand. The name inOui was chosen to emulate the French word inouï meaning extraordinary or unheard of.[2]

History

In 2017, TGV inOui trains were tested on the Paris – Bordeaux – Toulouse line.[3]

The brand was officially presented in September 2018. Its aim is replace current TGV's with plus de confort, de services et de connectivité (English: "more comfort and connectivity services"). In December 2018, trains circulated between Lille, Marseille and Nice from Paris, before servicing the rest of the network by 2020.[4]
