An incredible engineering feat and legacy. Were you named after this train?

Timeless design. Even after 42 years, it is still an eye-catcher

Concorde, TGV, Citroën — French transportation design from roughly 1970-1990 is amazing

@california I think this is a subtweet -
We unfortunately have a much tougher route to build than France’s original line. Though that doesn’t excuse the massive mistakes that have occurred.

Patrick do you think Ireland or
@IrishRail will ever come close to achieving a service as effective as the TGV? For intercity at least anyway...

What’s the comparison to the industry avg.?

It’s an old train. They could probably still use it (electric motors are marvelous like that), but there have been major engineering advances since the original TGV trains that make this basically obsolete. Modern sets are faster!
