2nd-class Aqualys Corail compartment car (B11u).

This car was built under the second order for Corail compartment cars (VU-78), which was also the first order for Corail cars with 8 seats per compartment in 2nd class. It was refurbished in 2001/2002 with funding from Région Centre, under the "Aqualys" program.

Aqualys is an EIG between SNCF-GL and Région Centre, which runs GL (yet non-reservable) services on Paris-(fast) Orléans- (semi-fast) Tours.

The original seating layout has remained.
