Interiors of a Refurbished 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.

Refurbishment has been under way since 2002.
