Roger Tallon

TGV Atlantique "coach" seat, whose design dates back to 1983, was specially designed to reduce vibrations and shocks with minimum weight. It was the result of technological innovation at the time: the computer aided design. From the work of Roger Tallon, the hull was made with molded aluminium.

The first operations of TGV Atlantique mid-life renovation started in July 2001 and were completed in April 2010. Old furnitures were scrapped, except the seats of the latest coach of the latest trainset renovated (train n°388) that we recovered to preserve and renovate them.
