Le Train

Le Train is a French private railway company; it is the first private high-speed operator in France to hold an operating licence.

The company was founded in 2020 with the ambition to operate the first private high-speed rail service in France. In December 2022, Le Train received its operating license, and in January 2023 signed a €300m contract with Spanish train manufacturer Talgo to deliver 10 AVRIL single-deck high-speed trains. Le Train is expected to launch operations in 2028.

Le Train was created with the objective of providing interregional high-speed services across the western regions of the country. These connections will include cities like Bordeaux, Tours, Nantes, and Rennes. The company has partnered with the Spanish manufacturer Talgo to supply its fleet of trains. Provided by Wikipedia
