A FS Treniatila ETR 610 is leaving Lausanne.

Against a dark sky, the SNCF Coradia Polyvalent Régiolis 51629M is visible for just under an hour in the bright sunlight at Meroux station.

With the new timetable from mid-December 2025, this typical Meroux/Belfort-Montbéliard TGV scene will be less easy to capture, as the SNCF trains of the 16 daily train pairs will cross paths in Meroux and only have a layover of about eight minutes. It will therefore require quite a bit of luck for a TGV to arrive during those eight minutes. The photo shows the SNCF Coradia Polyvalent Régiolis 51629M, which arrived in Meroux at 10:10 as MOBIGO TER 895055. The train will depart for Belfort at 11:03 as MOBIGO TER 895054. At the Belfort Montbéliard TGV station, the SNCF inOiu TGV 9877 from Strasbourg to Marseille St-Charles has arrived; this train is operated with unit 825.

While the SNCF Z73800 Coradia A TER "Baleine" waits at Meroux station for its departure to Belfort, an SNCF inOui TGV train can be seen (unfortunately partially obscured) leaving Belfort-Montbéliard TGV station. December 10, 2025 

Another view of the two stations, Belfort-Montbéliard TGV (below) and Meroux (above). The TGV LYRIA 9203 from Paris Gare de Lyon to Zurich, consisting of trainset 4726, offers a rather tight connection to the SNCF Z73800 Coradia A TER "Baleine" waiting at Meroux station, bound for Belfort. Why diesel multiple units are now (also) being used on the electrified Delle - Belfort line is beyond my knowledge. December 10, 2025 
