TEE 10076

Relief train for TEE 76 running sundays from the summer of 1971 until the summer of 1975; running 10 to 15 minutes before the main train.

TEE 10077

Relief train for TEE 77 running fridays 10 to 15 minutes before the main service. From the winter of 1975/76 this relief only ran until Brive. Termination of this relief is not clear but according to a time-table the train was still running in the summer of 1981. Note: actually on many occasions there were additional relief trains (up to two), but those were run more on an ad-hoc basis.
