OUIGO, the low-cost train from SNCF!

The French low-cost OUIGO trains are a huge hit on the Iberian Peninsula.

In France, OUIGO is celebrating the second anniversary of its "classic" trains with a special operation, the "Jours Traincroyables" (Incredible Train Days): 200,000 tickets at a maximum price of €19 are on sale!

From Tuesday 21 May, OUIGO will offer 50,000 tickets for just five euros, an exceptional deal when prices can normally go up to €49 for adults.🚄

The "classic" OUIGO trains, also called "slow OUIGO" because of their 160 km/h speed, serve 20 destinations across France. Among them, Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) and Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) for the western route, and Lyon (Rhône) for the south-eastern route.

They also serve many intermediate stations, such as Saumur and Angers (Maine-et-Loire), Mâcon (Saône-et-Loire) and Dijon (Côte-d'Or). This offer makes regional mobility more accessible!

It's a little piece of France in the Spanish sky, which delights low-carbon transport users on the other side of the Pyrenees.

As in France, the operator is betting on low prices.

The reason for this success in Spain also lies in the quality of the trains. Higher-end than in France for a similar price despite inflation, OUIGO has found the recipe for success.

Today, OUIGO runs ten round trips a day on three lines in Spain, and SNCF has just opened its head office in Madrid.

With a 94% occupancy rate and already 6 million passengers carried, the expansion looks promising.

The stated goal: heading for Italy. 🇪🇸➡️🇮🇹
