Das müssten zwei Premieren sein: 🧐

An Sommersamstagen neu: #TGV 5531-5532 #Strasbourg 🇫🇷 <> #Perpignan (in der Gegenrichtung an So).
Das gab es als Direktverbindung zuletzt 2016 als Nachtzug Strasbourg - Port Bou.

und an Sa+So im Sommer: TGV 5491-5492 Strasbourg - #LaRochelle. Das gab es als Direktverbindung wenn überhaupt jemals, dann schon sehr lange nicht mehr. Ein bestehender TGV Strasbourg<>Nantes wird dabei zum Flügelzug bis St-Pierre-des-Corps.

Looking at dashcam footage from a #TGV on the television, and honestly… they had this in the 1980s (and the Japanese did earlier?), meanwhile our trains still crawl. Feels like we were cheated out of something.

Not very widely known funfact: twice during the 90s TGV trains arrived in Poland.

The first time it happened in 1991 when the record-braking TGV Atlantique unit 325 (the one that ran 515 km/h) was brought to Warsaw for a HSR conference. It couldn't run on its own because of incompatible power mode.

Then in 1995, for the 150th anniversary of railways in Poland, courtesy of SNCF and Alstom PKP borrowed TGV Réseau 4522 (which was not in service yet).
Because it was multi-mode and supported 3kV DC, it ran a bunch of special rides between 12 and 19 June 1995, stopping in multiple cities and attracting a lot of interest.

The train was operated by the SNCF staff, with Polish crew present in the driver's cabin.

Tiens, j'aime cette carte édition 2014.

Nous avions donc une desserte #TGV #Lyria de #Bern, #Olten, #Neuchâtel & #Interlaken.

#Madrid & #Zaragoza... (ajd. #Renfe), un #AVE Toulouse - #Barcelona

#Thalys pour #Brugge, #Oostende, #Mons, #Charleroi & #Namur.

#TrainDeNuit pour #Ventimiglia, #Luchon, #StGervais & #BourgSaintMaurice.

Un #Intercités #Bordeaux - #ClermontFerrand (mais la ligne est fermée entre #Ussel & #EygurandeMerlines depuis +longtemps...).

🥲 #CrossBorderRail

A few months ago I made a network map showing the high speed rail connections in #France. Unfortunately, the official #SNCF #TGV map only shows the stops and whether there is a connection or not. However, I wanted to better understand which cities and regions are directly connected.
Voilà the 2024 update of my 🇫🇷 high speed rail map! Feel free to explore and boost!

#introduction pour le nouveau serveur !
Apprentie enseignante-chercheuse intéressée par les #SHS, la #sociolinguistique et l' #anthropologie. Je publierai des impromptus de ce qui m'occupe : #yiddish, #FLE, des brèves de #TGV, de bouquins et des bizarreries et émerveillements linguistiques ( #suisseromande et blagues de germanophone). Du #tricot, probablement.
