French trains are as common as Italian examples with regular services leaving for the neighbouring country. The Italian services tend to be locomotive powered (push/pull with driving trailers) and the French TER services operated by multiple units. This is Class Z 26500 TER Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur unit no. 405. X20_DSCF2068
