The z6300 replaced the “standard” (z1500) used in the Paris'suburb. Its only engined bogie sometimes makes it slip.

z6300 are sent to province in 2003 once z20500 and z22500 are used on the Eastern suburb of Paris, just before an European directive forcing the door's closing when running. z6300 which were moved to Lorraine are equiped with automatic doors, they will be removed in 2008 before the arrival of TER 2n ng.
