This car still features 8 seats per compartment. Unlike 1st-class accommodation, and as on all regional refurbs for Corail cars, original seats have remained.
This notwithstanding, ambiance has been renewed, with new velvet seat-covers that turn out to resist pretty well tear-and-wear.
Compartments 4, 5 and 6 now form a semi-open saloon, as original full partitions have gone.
