@rail going to ask a daft question. What makes these duplex so different from others? Thanks

@EF@mastodon.bsd.cafe the fact that it's TGV Réseau power cars coupled with Duplex passenger trailers

when it comes to performance or features it's nothing particularly interesting

but it's a silly frankenstein's train. which is also no longer in service, apparently Réseau Duplexes got rebuilt back into standard Duplexes and Réseaus during the recent wave of refurbishments of older TGV

@rail thank you for explaining. My French traction knowledge is better on various heritage railways: Martel, Saujon, Oleron, Guitres.
