Final countdown for RTGs (Deadline: 11th December 2004 !!).

RTG set T2049, seen at Périgueux on Turbotrain 4480/1 (Bordeaux St Jean-Lyon Perrache). This is the very last service where RTGs are still diagrammed.

One can spot a Class 72500 DMU on the right-hand track, which was hoped to replace RTGs on Lyons-Bordeaux in the mid/late-90s...
