Thalys PBA set (foreground, rear set), coupled with a Thalys PBKA set (background, front set) seen on Thalys 9453 (Paris-Nord ---> Köln Hbf.), seen at the North end of LGV1 (French border-Halle), shortly after slowing down to 160km/h, while nearing the Walloon-Flamish border.

That rear set runs on Paris-Brussels only, as a relief.
