RIB 88 set of SNCF-Action Régionale (TER Midi-Pyrénées), seen at Cerbère on TER 76202, awaiting departure to Toulouse-Matabiau.

RIB 88s are actually ex-RIB 60 sets displaced from Paris Commuter traffic to TER duties. To this end, they went through an extensive remodelling in 1988, with Z2-style interiors and a RRR-style cab. The fleet used on TER Midi-Pyrénées also benefited from a further (yet lighter) overhaul in 1999.
