The TGV PBA (foreground) is the same as a TGV-R. There is a TGV PBKA in the background.
The TGV Réseau (or TGV-R) is a high-speed EMU built by Alstom between 1992 and 1994, for the SNCF. They are based on the TGV Atlantique, and are the third-generation of TGVs. Fifty have been made as bi-current sets, and forty have been made as tri-current sets. The TGV Réseau is pressurized so it doen't produced nasty pressure changes when entering tunnels at high speeds on the electric mainlines in France.
Trivia[]
The TGV Réseau Series is atuallly modified from the original TGV trainsets; the TGV Sud-Est.
