Why are high-speed trains needed, or rather, what should they be for? Connect two regional megacities, two European capitals, or create omnibuses to serve medium-sized cities? Pioneers in the field of speed, the Japanese launched their Shinkansen in 1964, making it a luxury product and dedicating a special network to it. And France and Spain decided to make their supertrains compatible with the classic route and accessible to as many people as possible.
The rest after this announcement
In 2014, Court of Audit judges deplored the fact that the TGV runs 40% of its time on regular tracks, which is well below its capabilities. This diversity made it possible to serve sections and ends of the line. It also allowed many regional presidents, local elected officials and other ministers to offer themselves a real electoral prize by getting a high-speed train station on their territory. Even today, this network gives remote workers and commuters the feeling that they can work in Paris and live in the provinces, while spending less time on transport than a resident of the Ile-de-France region.
