Bombardier Transport France president Laurent Bouyer said: “Passengers will discover a new style of train travel with the Bombardier OMNEO Premium.

“Our engineers have focused on allowing ample space for passengers, more seats and highly comfortable interior fittings.

“Designed and manufactured at our site in Crespin in the Hauts-de-France region, these trains are certified ‘Origine France Garantee’.”

In January, Bombardier started the delivery of the first OMNEO trainsets from the contract signed in November 2016 for 40 trains.

The vehicles feature reclining seats with reading lights, power plugs and USB ports.

In 2018, Bombardier Transportation secured a repeat order to supply 32 OMNEO trainsets to SNCF Mobilités.
