@Sobex No, they were reaffected to the nort high speed line ansd repainted from their orange l9very to the same as resean one. And re repainted to the actual livery (white, black and a bit of red). Some of them wera repainted to the Thalys livery too. @Anzeliane

@un_bourguignon @Anzeliane This claim requires some proofs though. TGV SE and TGV R can be easily confused, and the above wikipedia page accounts carefully for every single trainset individually. TGV SE are numbered from 01 to 118. (Anzeliane's pic is set 44) TGV Atlantique from 301 to 405 TGV Réseau is the 500 series & 4500 series. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV_Réseau TGV Réseaux sets have very complex histories, intertwined with the TGV Duplexes series, because SNCF mixed and matched power cars and passenger coaches, but none of them are TGV SE. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV_Sud-Est#/media/Fichier:TGV_SE_004.jpg Please compare carefully the power-cars of TGV SE and Réseau, the TGV SE have kind of a step at the top of the power car, whereas the TGV R has filled this step with a smooth curve (improved aerodynamics). Thalys PBA are also TGV Réseaux.
