context_page_description: The Alstom Avelia Euroduplex, more commonly known as just Euroduplex, is a high-speed double decker electric multiple unit train manufactured by Alstom. It is primarily operated by the French national railway company SNCF, and also in operation with the Moroccan national railway company ONCF. It is the 3rd generation of the TGV Duplex.
  The Euroduplex trains are interoperable, containing equipment allowing them to travel between several European continental countries with various types of electrification and signalling systems such as France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Luxembourg. A Moroccan variation is the first high speed train to operate in Africa.
context_section_description: In June 2007, in addition to 25 extra TGV Dasye sets (+ 3 others 2008), the SNCF has placed a large order for 55 Alstom tricurrent high speed trains, TGV 2N2.
  These 55 trains can be divided into:
  30 trains "3UA" (tricurrent Germany), numbered 4701-4730 (4 international) for services from France to Germany and Switzerland. Prototypes were tested from August 2010, the remaining deliveries expected between 2011 and 2014;
  10 trains "3RU" (tricurrent Spain), numbered 801 to 810, for services between France and Spain (deliveries from 2013);
  15 trains "3UF" (tricurrent France), numbered 811-825, intended for domestic traffic in France (deliveries from 2014);
  A Power Reserve "3UA" compatible with the 55 cars and also for the TGV POS and TGV Duplex Dasye.
  In April 2010, the first train RGV, numbered 4701, was tested at La Rochelle. On 16 June 2010, the train arrived at the site of ELWT Conflans to be equipped with different systems to perform many tests in the coming months before commercial operation. Between 20 and 30 July 2010, the train conducted speed tests in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the French Alps.
  SNCF and Alstom organized the symbolic delivery of the first train on May 30, 2011 on the LGV Est.
  The 2007 contract included an option for 40 additional trains. SNCF exercised this option  to take delivery of the second batch of Euroduplex sets from 2015. These the 3UFC type (the "C" stands for capacity) and named "l'Océane" were delivered between 2016 and 2019 and have replaced some sets on TGV Atlantique with the opening of the LGV Sud Europe Atlantique. They offer a new inerior design and a improved capacity by 10% due to the third car being multi-class and were delivered between 2016 and 2019 and are numbered from 851 to 891 (minus 866 who is only constitued of the power reserve motor).
  To save the jobs of the Alstom factory of Belfort, the french state announced in October 2016 a order of fifteen trains to be used on the Intercity line between Bordeaux and Marseille. That order was done by the SNCF in February 2017. These trains are from the 3UFC type numbered from 836 to 850 and are in delivery starting form August 2019 and are used with the others 3UFC.
  Finally in July 2019, the SNCF announced the order of twelve trains that will be delivered between 2021 and 2022 (which would be shortly before the arrival of the first Avelia Horizon). The complete fleet would have 122 trains once the final order would be done.
