===TGV Réseau=== {{Main|SNCF TGV Réseau}} [[File:TGV Lacroix 549 Luxembourg Gare.JPG|right|thumb|A TGV-Reseau Lacroix with number 549 at the Luxembourg station]] The first Réseau (Network) sets entered service in 1993. Fifty bi-current sets were ordered in 1990, supplemented by 40 tri-current sets in 1992/1993 (adding {{3,000 V DC}} system used on traditional lines in Belgum). Ten tri-current sets carry the [[Eurostar|Eurostar Red]] (ex-[[Thalys]]) livery and are known as the PBA (Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam) sets. They are formed of two power cars (8,800 kW under 25 kV – as TGV Atlantique) and eight carriages, giving a capacity of 377 seats. They have a top speed of {{convert|320|km/h|4=0|abbr=on}}. They are {{convert|200|m|ftin|abbr=on}} long and are {{convert|2.90|m|ftin|abbr=on}} wide. The bi-current sets weigh 383 tonnes: owing to axle-load restrictions in Belgium the tri-current sets have a series of modifications, such as the replacement of steel with aluminum and hollow axles, to reduce the weight to under 17 t per axle. Owing to early complaints of uncomfortable pressure changes when entering tunnels at high speed on the LGV Atlantique, the Réseau sets are now pressure-sealed. They can be coupled to a Duplex set.
