Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 23. Chapters: TGV, Intercity-Express, Transmission Voie-Machine. Excerpt: The TGV (French: , meaning high-speed train) is France's high-speed rail service, currently operated by SNCF Voyages, the long-distance rail branch of SNCF, the French national rail operator. It was developed during the 1970s by GEC-Alsthom (now Alstom) and SNCF. Although originally designed to be powered by gas turbines, the TGV prototypes evolved into electric trains with the petrol crisis of 1973. Following the inaugural TGV service between Paris and Lyon in 1981, the TGV network, centred on Paris, has expanded to connect cities across France and in adjacent countries. A TGV test train set the record for the fastest wheeled train, reaching 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) on 3 April 2007. A TGV service previously held the record for the fastest scheduled rail journey with a start to stop average speed of 279.4 km/h (173.6 mph), which was surpassed by the Chinese CRH service Harmony express on the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway in 2009. The success of the first line led to an expansion of the network, with new lines built in the south, west, north and east of the country. Eager to emulate the success of the French network, neighbouring countries such as Belgium, Italy, Spain and Germany built their own high-speed lines. TGVs link with Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Belgium through the French network, with Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands through the Thalys network, and the Eurostar network links France and Belgium with the United Kingdom. Several lines are planned, including extensions within France and to surrounding countries. Cities such as Tours have become a part of a "TGV commuter belt." In 2007, SNCF generated profits of 1.1 billion (approximately US$1.75 billion or 875 million) driven largely by higher margins on the TGV network. The idea of...

This paper considers this post-9/11 reality in France in three parts. Firstly, the existing passenger and luggage screening processes at both French airports and French train stations will be explained, compared and contrasted. From this it will be clear that the latter lacks both the attention and rigour of the former. Secondly, the specific weak points in the screening processes associated with the French TGV rail network will be assessed and the opportunities for terrorist infiltration that result will be explored. Thirdly, the paper will identify the three factors most responsible for the failure to implement a passenger and luggage screening strategy on the TGV network: the imagined risk, the cost of implementation and the resultant inconvenience to passengers. Applying examples from inside France, wider Europe and North America, each of these factors will be critiqued and rejected as adequate reasons for the lack of screening procedures. In concluding the paper, it will be argued that the continuing failure to screen passengers and luggage travelling on the French TGV network represents a significant hole in the French counter-terrorist strategy and one that should be addressed by policy makers with urgency.

For much of the postwar era, French society had a contradictory view of passenger trains, scorning them as quaint anachronisms on the one hand, yet also fearing their economic and social impact. All this changed with the introduction of the famed Train á Grande Vitesse (TGV) between Paris and Lyon in the early 1980s. In vivid detail, Meunier describes the political, economic, and social factors that both helped and hindered the development of the world's fastest, most technologically advanced train. The present-day enthusiasm in France for high-speed rail travel dates only to the successful launch of the now-famous TGV in 1981. Until now, most published accounts of French high-speed rail have been of a technical nature and have ignored or minimized the historical, political, economic, and social context. Historians have been left with detailed descriptions of locomotives and experimental test runs, but there has been scant information cercerning why the machines were built and why the tests were carried out in the first place. This book is the first full-length treatment of high-speed rail travel and the bibliography is one of the most complete on the subject.
