These trains benefit from modern equipment such as air conditioning adapted in real time to the number of passengers, panoramic windows and careful lightingto enhance the comfort of passengers in the Ile-de-France region. It is alsoa more accessible train, thanks to much wider doors than on the previous equipment. This makes it possible to improve the accessibility of trains, but also to facilitate the exchange of passengers in stations. The equipment of the Ile-de-France trains delivered since last September has beenimproved, including the addition of USB ports and new passenger information screens on board.

The Regio2N

Deployment on the RER D and Line R.

The equipment of the Regio 2N offers everyone the journey they want: the presence of armrests, power sockets but also homogeneous lighting, allow everyone to read, rest or work. For more comfort in winter, guests can enjoy underfloor heating and air conditioning in summer. It is also a 100% accessible train, with level access to the platforms to facilitate access for all passengers.

The new generation RER

Reliable, safe, comfortable and specifically designed for dense areas, the New Generation RER (NG) will be delivered from 2021 on the RER D line in order to improve the level of comfort offered to Ile-de-France residents and regularity on these lines.

As part of the extension of the RER E to the west, they will also equip the RER E from 2022.

What is a "boa" oar?

Access from one car to another is possible easily without having to get off the train. This reinforces the feeling of safety on board, but also allows passengers to move around in order to prepare for their disembarkation or to spread out more easily in the trains. In the end, it is a gain in comfort for passengers, and better regularity all along the line with smoother ascents and descents.
