RSG2 was the designation of SG2 cars 5261-5271, after these were provisionally modified for temporary service on Randstadrail due to the delay of RSG3 stock delivery. These 11 cars served Randstadrail from 2006 to 2009 and were retired from service afterwards because a plan to return them to lines A, B and C didn't pass as the delivery of SG3 stock was about to commence.
