I can see nothing wrong with these trains to do the job they need to do. They are fine trains doing the job just as needed. They have accessibility that the Corail stock can never match. Everything in my rational brain says these are ideal. And yet every part of my emotional self cries out for Corail. Corail is fast, Corail is sleek, Corail is comfortable, Corail is smooth. Corail is what my animal brain wants a train to be like. I travel often between Basel and Strasbourg, with luggage, on the TER200 with Corail carriages. I struggle to get my luggage on the train. The doors are narrow and awkward. There is no power to charge my phone. And yet I love them. When I sink into a Corail sofa seat, I know I am in the best few trains to travel on in the world. Corail is glorious, Corail is great. The day Grand Est replaces Corail on the Basel-Strasbourg service I will shed a tear.

Hello, thank you for sharing your film. -
I had to do 1 time or 2 Amiens / Paris in these trains. In fact, in my humble opinion, the Hauts de France region has just put seats a little better than those of the 84500. The 84700 are improved cattle trucks, that's all! -
The problem with the Corail trains on this line is that you had to change locomotives in Amiens, and you needed staff for that! By replacing the Corail trains with dual-mode self-propelled railcars, the SNCF, with the complicity of the HdF region, has done what it knows how to do best: cut jobs. And, the worst of it all, is that the punctuality is far from better! -
Best wishes.

There use to be a night train from Bologune to the south of France, Nice I think it went, and it went around Paris calling in at some of the terminal stations and shunting out and around the ring railway. If it was ever reintroduced it would have to avoid Paris and go due south from Lille as the Paris ring railway has bits missing unless it could use the RER lines.

Thank you for always delivering wonderful videos.
I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
I have one favour to ask.
It will be a reference when using the toilet, so please take a picture of the scene where the toilet water flows (the flushed water is sucked into the underfloor tank) when visiting the toilet.
Please.

It's cheaper to put a diesel engine in an EMU than to build 25kV catenary, but is it a budget issue that they haven't electrified it? As a Dutchman, I'm always surprised to see non-electrified lines elsewhere in Europe. (There are non-electrified lines in the Netherlands, just not a lot, and never a main line)

It is pretty pathetic that the measure of new trains is how much less comfortable they are in comparison to coaches from the 1970s and 1980s. These units are unusual in only being a bit worse rather than the absolutely awful that is normal across the board for new trains of the last decade.

The airleak could be a bad seal on the drivers door, we had that on out class 170 turbostars, when tge seal worked loose it would whistle like a boiling kettle. Easy fix was just to push the seal back in.
Great looking train though, and cracking journey

Why do they build railcars with a step up/step down configuration? Not very friendly for those with mobility issues. I noticed that a couple of the cars had ramps instead of stairs, but still it seems kind of a pain.

They're talking about replacing the NCTD Sprinter vehicles (Siemens Desiro) in a few years. I haven't been on the current ones but I wouldn't mind seeing these on the route if they make a DMU version for the USA.

Another great video Thibault merci. I just watched a story at France 24 about the Baie de Somme which showed the little steam train. And then I-ve seen it again in your video. New to me, good synchronicity.

Even though you're traveling a lot, it's always good to appreciate home and/or where you're from. And these trains, they look really nice, not the feeling of the good old corail but it's nice.

Let's be honest, it's a suburban train, exactly like in the UK where suburban EMUs provide what used to be Inter-City services to places like Liverpool

Since the talk is to put batteries on the roof, instead of filling in that gap, I-m guessing there will always be no catenary for a section of this line.

Nice ride. The Hauts-de-France region should rethink its train livery. The horrible color combination and design make the train look like buses.
