Farewell to RTG Jet Trains? Within a few months, this sight might be history...

Interiors of a Second-class car (TRBu) of a RTG Jet Train of SNCF, seen at Lyon-Perrache, awaiting departure to Bordeaux-St Jean on Train 4580.

Airline-style seats, with good legroom, identical to that available in First-class.

Seats are an improved version of that of B10t USI cars. Whereas they were reclinable until the late-80s, they have been fixed since then.

The banana plastic leather is doubtless old-fashioned. Yet, interiors are still well-kept.
