On 16 December 2024, the RER NG EMUs entered into commercial service on the RER D Line of the Île-de-France Mobilités network. One year after its gradual deployment on the RER E Line, RER NG welcomed its first passengers and has been gradually deployed on the RER D Line. Since 15 December 2024, RER NG has also provided a full service on the entire RER E Line.
Fully financed by Île-de-France Mobilités, the “New Generation” RER is a double-deck stock designed for the RER D and E Lines, both operated by Transilien SNCF Voyageurs on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités, in order to improve passenger comfort and regularity on these lines. 166 RER NG trains with a maximum speed of 140 km/h have been ordered - 130 for the RER E Line and 36 for the RER D Line.
