(And Alstom seemed taken back by such high attention to detail...)
Rachel Picard has a database (with 📸 and 📏) of EACH mainline train 💺type in Europe and Asia (+ some of ✈️🚌, too).
The interior designer is 🇩🇪.
But seat manufacturer is 🇨🇿.
Trainsets will accomodate 8 🚲

What happens to Ukraine when the war ends? The Europeans won’t continue spending 60+ billion euros a year on funding their budget and it seems doubtful the economy will ever recover to where it was before the war

By the end of this decade, Ouigo will account for 1/3 of the TGV km-trains in 🇫🇷 instead of 1/5 currently.
3/3: I'm dreading doing the 2026 update for UK-France, I fear more Ouigoisation has punched even more holes in journey options, including the London-Lille-Lyon service.
It really does dilute frequency, reducing connectivity.

So, potentially 3 launching clients for Avelia Stream: KevinSpeed, Virgin, Italo.
🙂: it will help absorbing the redesign costs
☹️: potential bottleneck at the start of the industrialisation stage. Even tighter if Alstom wins 1-2 more HSR contracts (CP, Renfe, PKP, Rail Baltica...)

Note: if Italo does this it’ll use Alstom Avelia Stream trains (I’d assume)
Mixed news for Virgin Trains - it’ll mean someone gets this model OKed in Germany. But if Italo is ahead of Virgin Trains in the queue… 🤔

Quite astoundingly, Renfe is very adept at importing the worst of SNCF...
Just updating my UK-Portugal page. The 09:30 Vigo-Madrid AVE has had its 1st class & all catering removed, to become an Avlo.
It’s almost as if @Renfe is deliberately sabotaging its own service. If you want a proper train it’s 06:00 (ouch!) or 13:27 (doesn’t run Saturdays). 🤷♂️
