OUIGO: SNCF’s Budget TGV Duplex
Since 2012 SNCF has been developing a new low cost TGV service, which will be marketed as OUIGO. This follows on from the budget-price iDTGV services, introduced in 2005. On 19 February 2013 SNCF revealed its OUIGO concept and logos, and a TGV Duplex OUIGO made its inaugural trip.

Newag, Nowy Sącz: Recent Developments
Four years have now elapsed since we last visited the Newag works. Over these years the establishment has continued to pursue its programme of routine repairs and overhauls of locomotives and carriages. It has also been realising several major thorough modernisation projects, both of locomotives and EMUs.

The 2ES10 Granit
In February 2009 technicians from the development departments of the ZAO Sinara group and the Locomotives Unit of Siemens AG started working on a DC freight locomotive with asynchronous three-phase traction motors for the Russian market. This development was based on the 2ES6 locomotive family with DC traction motors, which, starting in 2006, was developed at the Sinara works as the company’s first class of locomotives.
