2 RGP1 DMUs, in RTG livery and running in multiple-unit, seen on some Autorail or Express service on Lyon-Grenoble.
Interestingly, this formation conveyed an extra lightweight "unified" DMU trailer. These had originally been ordered to run with X2400s and 2800s, but one could also spot them with other DMUs and even Z7100s... Le Grand Lemps. April 1984.

The trailer would feature a moving-gangway and a small cab in the corner, as many MUs running in Britain.

The trailer would feature a moving-gangway and a small cab in the corner, as many MUs running in Britain. This set was unexpectedly running with a lightweight "unified" XR8200 trailer, which had been designed to run primarily with X2400s and X2800s.

This unit was part of a fleet of 3: partly declassified in 1973, with original galley removed, yet replaced with a buffet corner.
Whereas the "Silver Arrow" was axed in 1980, Mk2 Jet Trains (RTG) ousted RGP DMUs from Hovercraft Trains in 1981. Paris-Nord. 17th May 1978.
