First OMNEO On Tests

In October 2012 SNCF’s first Bombardier-built OMNEO EMU arrived at the Velim test circuit in the Czech Republic, and has been there since then. It is a six-car train, the end cars being numbered 94 87 5500 501 and 94 87 5507 502. It has been subjected to both static tests and trial runs on the test circuit. The photos show it there on 16 January 2013. Note the alternate single and double deck cars.
