In April 2013, the French State Railways (SNCF) launched a new TGV service called "OUIGO" [wi'go]. Given the success of the low-cost TGV connections, it was decided to apply the same concept to traditional train connections. The first "OUIGO Classic" connections were put on the rails in spring 2022.
Nine locomotives of the BB 22200 series provide traction for the trains and were given the eye-catching foiling. 2nd class Corail carriages are used as the carriage material. As part of the redesign, a storage room for two bicycles was added at one end of the carriage.
