The Train of France

The TGV

The World Record Speed holder

Spectacular train travels from city to city up to 322 kph (201 mph).

Paris is its Hub and it interconnects all throughout Europe.

The TGV runs on a fascinating line of tracks. It is nice to know you wont feel them should you have an issue and have to return to the base train station in record time. The radii of curves of the tracks the TGV runs on are larger than usual. Due to this the TGV can traverse them at higher speeds without increasing the acceleration felt by passengers.  

Another unusual fact about the TGV –most don’t know that this is a mass Eco-friendly train.

From the aerodynamic format of rail design to the way the drivers are trained. Drivers are trained to power off- downhill and adjust to rail grip to reduce consumption of electricity. Other Eco-friendly benefits are, it uses low energy lighting, waste is compact, waste water recycled and air conditioning in the summer is adjusted to fit by ratio only how many passengers are aboard.
