TGV is *the* way to travel. Picture First Class, which at my age costs me less than Second Class, sitting in your comfy seat at 300 kph (180 mph) not feeling the least bit of shake or vibration as you watch the telephone poles going by so fast outside the window that they look like a picket fence. Picture getting up and walking comfortably back to the Bar Car at that speed, with no sway, and no problems walking. Then picture ordering a glass of pretty acceptable wine from the barman and setting it down on the table, noticing not a ripple in the surface of it. It's just so cool. James Bond would ride the TGV. How do they make it so smooth? Isn't there a fear that some car could get stuck at a crossing (no crossings?) or some vandal or terrorist would put something on the tracks? At that speed, a crash would be catastrophic.
