Unrefurbished First/Second-class car of a V2N (Voitures à 2 Niveaux) trainset, seen at Paris-Gare de Lyon upon turnaround.
<p>

These cars were introduced in 1992-93 on fast or semi-fast "long-distance commuter" services of SNCF TER, such as Paris-Laroche Migennes, Paris-Rouen, Paris-Amiens and Paris-Compiègne.
<p>
The livery is very reminiscent of the early-90s, and of TGV Atlantique sets.
<p>
Carbodies are identical to those of Intermediate Trailers of Mk2 Z2Ns (Z20500s, Z20900s and Z92500s).
