TGV inOui is the brand name of premium TGV train services operated by SNCF since 27 May 2017 on certain high speed rail services.[1] SNCF is in the process of replacing 'classic' TGV services with the premium inOui and low-cost Ouigo brands in preparation for the future opening of France’s high-speed rail infrastructure to competition. The name inOui was chosen because it sounds like the French word inouï meaning “extraordinary” (or more literally, “unheard of”).[2]

History

In 2017, TGV inOui trains were tested on the ParisBordeauxToulouse line.[3]

The brand was officially presented in September 2018. Its aim is replace current TGV's with "plus de confort, de services et de connectivité" (English: "more comfort and connectivity services"). In December 2018, trains circulated between Lille, Marseille and Nice from Paris, before servicing the rest of the network by 2020.[4]
