Features of the train include a video-surveillance system, information screens and notices in Braille, as well as a loudspeaker system and 220V sockets for cell phones, portable PCs and tablets.

The trains are being built in four unique configurations, including metropolitan, regional, regional express and airport, in order to meet specific requirements of passengers.

The manufacturing process of the Coradia Meridian trains has taken place at its Italian centres in Savigliano (Cuneo), Bologna and Sesto San Giovanni (Milan).

Alstom’s Citadis trams were recently commissioned by France’s Paris Transit Authority (RATP) on line T8 of the Ile-de-France tram network that connects Saint-Denis with Epinay-sur-Seine and Villetaneuse.
