    The design may be dated, but electrically-operated reclining seats is not something you find in a lot of European trains, even in first class. Luxurious!

    TGV is actually translated as "High-Speed Train" (rather than Great)
    inOui is pronounced "Een Ou Oui" a play on the word inouï meaning extraordinary, incredible, sensational.

      @@MarkusTravels From what I checked it’s for the tgv named « TGV Océane ». You can do some search about it (if you want). And I tried once and personally I liked it. The best thing is (if you have it) is to check the train information to see if it’s a normal duplex tgv you got or the Oceane (I’m pretty all of the Oceane tgv got the new 1st class but I’m not sure but I do think it’s for that TGV in particular as others one (especially the one going from Paris to Lyon will be replaced by the TGVM once it releases)

    Thanks for a nice video. I don't like the footrest either. Simple don´t understand them, on train or in an aircraft. Tack

    foot rests are for short people, or those with short legs

      I'm 1m78 or 5'10" - average length legs... I do like the foot rest to change the position of my legs on long trips.

      Some of the SBB intercity trains are also really old. Video coming soon!
