Re: As to the 40 year old trains (4.00 / 2)

There are two kinds of single deckers ; those that do the Saint-Germain En Laye - Boissy trip are the (almost) 40 years old MS61, and they are currently going through their half-life refitting. The new interiors are quite nice :)

Re: As to the 40 year old trains (none / 0)

Ah ok... I only know those on the A line... btw i thought the double deckers only went to marne la vallee, not boissy. Has that changed?
Thanks for the info anyway.

Re: As to the 40 year old trains (none / 1)

The general rule is what you say, double deckers, being SNCF owned rather than RATP, generally do the Cergy-Poissy -- Marne La Vallée journey, but any trouble on the line is likely to change that.
