He is a new actor who will soon enter the stations of western France. The train, a railway company that wants to compete with the SNCF, plans to reach the market in 2027 or 2028.
The company aims to “develop a clean passenger experience” and “Give pleasure on the trip,” explains Alain Getraud, its managing and co -founder director, guest of BFM Business this Thursday, May 8.
To obtain its project to “make trains more accessible and more comfortable,” the company ordered 10 trains to the Spanish manufacturer Talgo. At one level, they can accommodate almost 400 travelers.
“Increased internet connection”
The main innovation advanced by Alain Getraud: an “driven Internet connection” will be guaranteed in trains.
The train also puts “an adapted catering service and perhaps other services on board.”
A burgundy-nanthe less 3 hours?
The company also wants to play in another asset: it will offer trips between the metropolis of the West of France, without changes in Paris, as is the case.
Alain Getraud, therefore, promises travelers of transport between burgundy and nantes in less than 3 hours and between Bordeaux and Rennes in less 3:30. “It will be cheaper because there are less kilometers to go and there are no changes, so it reduces the risks (delay),” he explains.
Finally, the train is based on “competitive prices to achieve customer acquisition as soon as possible” but without questioning “service quality.”
Their trains are “currently in the approval phase in France” and Alain Grarraud hopes to see them mount in two and a half years.
