Alstom will supply 8 additional Régiolis (Coradia Polyvalent) to the Midi-Pyrénées region for a total of approximately EUR46 million, following an initial order for 25 Régiolis placed by the region in 2009.
The Régiolis, supplied here in their suburban version, are made up of four cars and have 50% more doors than their regional counterparts, facilitating passenger flow. Upon request by the Midi-Pyrénées region, these trains have been fitted with specific equipment such as passenger counting systems, dedicated storage space for bicycles and luggage, and front-panel displays showing the destinations.
The first Régiolis of the Midi-Pyrénées region entered commercial service in July 2014 on the lines that link Toulouse with Latour-de-Carol and Mazamet.
Régiolis is part of Alstom’s Coradia range. With its modular architecture, it can be adapted to the requirements of every organising authority as well as to different types of use: suburban, regional and intercity. Equipped with ERTMS technology, Régiolis is the first regional train in France to conform to all European standards.
