Door deze verlenging zullen meer TGV´s van de zuidelijke LGV-as Marseille – Montpellier gebruik maken zodra in juli 2018 het nieuwe HSL station van Montpellier geopend is.Met de ingang van de 2020 dienstregeling op 15 december 2019, is het nieuw station De LGV Est begint in de agglomeratie van Parijs en eindigt in De lijn is een schakel in vele internationale verbindingen; er zijn rechtstreekse TGV-diensten van Parijs naar De bouw aan de Spaanse kant van Barcelona tot Figueras liep vertraging op, zeker voor wat de normaalsporige tunnel onder Barcelona betreft.

They are quadri-current, operating under 25 kV, 50 Hz AC (LGVs), 15 kV 16⅔ Hz AC (Germany, Switzerland), 3 kV DC (Belgium) and 1.5 kV DC (Dutch and French Seventeen trains were ordered: nine by SNCB/NMBS, six by SNCF and two by TGV POS (Paris-Ostfrankreich-Süddeutschland or Paris-Eastern France-Southern Germany) are used on the LGV Est. Every coach allows for up to 6 patients, allowing for the transport of several dozen patients, attended by a staff of 50 medical workers. Unlike TGV-A, TGV-R and TGV-D, they have asynchronous motors, and isolation of an individual motor is possible in case of failure. The sets were built to run at 270 km/h (170 mph) but most were upgraded to 300 km/h (190 mph) during mid-life refurbishment in preparation for the opening of the LGV Méditerranée.

Op deze wijze worden clusters van bestemmingen bediend, verdeeld door het land. They consist of two Duplex power cars with eight TGV Réseau-type carriages, with a power output of 9,600 kW and a top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph). On 2019 December, the trains were phased out from service. TGV technology has been adopted in a number of other countries:SNCF and Alstom are investigating new technology that could be used for high-speed transport. Thirty-eight full sets, plus one spare power car, were ordered: 16 by SNCF, four by The sets operate at a maximum speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), with the power cars supplying 12,240 kW of power. They are 200 m (660 ft) long and 2.81 m (9.2 ft) wide. They were built by Two types were built: Three Capitals sets, consisting of two power cars and 18 carriages, including two with one powered bogie each; and North of London sets, with 14 carriages. Owing to early complaints of uncomfortable pressure changes when entering tunnels at high speed on the LGV Atlantique, the Réseau sets are now pressure-sealed. There have been fatal accidents involving TGVs on Following the number of accidents at level crossings, an effort has been made to remove all level crossings on The first environmental protests against the building of an LGV occurred in May 1990 during the planning stages of the LGV Méditerranée.

The few sets that still have a maximum speed of 270 km/h operate on those routes that include a comparatively short distance on LGV, such as to Switzerland via Dijon; SNCF did not consider it financially worthwhile to upgrade their speed for a marginal reduction in journey time. Het nieuwe deel van de LN2 is 302 kilometer lang en loopt van In 1995 werd de lijn uitgebreid met een tak naar de De LGV Rhône-Alpes is geopend in 1994 en is 115 kilometer lang. Hierdoor was het niet nodig de LGV's door te trekken naar de stadscentra; meestal houdt de lijn buiten de stad op en rijdt de TGV over oude lijnen verder naar het station in het centrum. Ten tri-current sets carry the They are formed of two power cars (8,800 kW under 25 kV – as TGV Atlantique) and eight carriages, giving a capacity of 377 seats. In late 2019 and early 2020, TGV 01 (Nicknamed Patrick) which was the very first TGV train, did a farewell service that included all 3 liveries that were worn during their service.The 105-strong bi-current Atlantique fleet was built between 1988 and 1992 for the opening of the The first Réseau (Network) sets entered service in 1993.
