Interiors of a 2nd-class Aqualys Corail compartment car (B11u).
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. Paris-Austerlitz. 30th December 2003.
