Fictive operator Project Aurora, with its numerous services in Europe, has taken delivery of a new type of TGV, derived from the class 98/7, these new class 991/0locomotives work with totally new tilt-body high speed stock on a UK to Madrid route, running via Paris, Marseilles and Barcelona.

Titled the TGV Oceanique, these trains have longer cars than the normal BMPZ based stock, and give a very smooth ride due to advanced pneumatic suspension and smoothride wheels. The seats in the coaches of the TGV Oceanique rival the Orbis for comfort with head-rest monitors, power-reclining, etc.
