This Intercity Caen-Paris is leaving Mantes, after a stop that allowed clients a connection with Tgv Le Havre-Marseille.
This class is the last that carries the famous yellow-red colour scheme. The train set is strangely composed, including in second position a VTU 82 and miscellaneous coaches, of which very few with standard "Basse Normandie" colours as usual. The engine carries the heraldic colours of the city of Strasbourg on its sides, that remind their first delivery in 1971 in this shed, where they stayed more than thirty years before being transfered to Achères, so as to operate in the west of France.
