Saint malo -combourg line what trains?

[387star]

I was at combourg station and saw a very smart double decker train which said bombardier on it

Inside looked a dream!

Interesting too how the french have low platforms and minimal fencing around the railway lines

On the platform of Saint Malo i see 3 different trains.

What you saw was almost certainly a Regio 2N.
Did it have black and white stripes on the front?
TER Bretagne have a number of these units.

The French have gone extensively for double-deckers. On the Riviera, even 2-car local emus are double-deck.

There's a couple of classes of two-car double deck EMU used by TER- eg the Z 23500 and the Z 24500. Most of the TER regions have the single car DMUs, Class X 73500

It is then, effectively, 3 cars, so can carry then 50% more people. A good idea. I travelled on (the top deck) of a double-decker suburban train into Venice last year.

I don't suppose anyone knows about stock allocation on the St Malo - Rennes line? I'll be travelling on it on a Friday morning soon, and would be interested in travelling on a Rėgio 2N. Are they used on all services or is it a mixture?

Thanks

as far as I can tell from French wikipedia, TER Bretagne obtained the Regio 2N (Z 55500) fleet specifically for Ligne 13, St Malo-Rennes. It also says the route uses Z27500 as well.

Thanks, jopsuk.
