TER-GV rolling stock

[HSTEd]

I've been wondering, since I have never actually seen such a service (only travel on the LGV Nord on the Eurostar), what rolling stock would be used by the TER-GV services in the Pas de Calais region?

Are they cast off TGV sets or are they a little more modern?

They are just standard TGV's, nothing more nothing less. You usually find they are timetabled in such a way to make use of sets that would either be sat spare or use what would be ECS paths to form workings from other origins.

The North of London Eurostar sets (TGV-TMST 3301-3314) are the standard rolling stock used for TER-GV, they are limited to services north of Paris only because they do not have 1500v DC capability, they are also in unrefurbished condition and are therefore less spartan than both refurbished Eurostars (Philippe Starck refurb) and domestic TGVs (Christian Lacroix refurb).

Cross-country services between Nord-pas-de-Calais and South of France (via LGV Interconnexion Est) are almost predominantly operated by TGV-PSE.
