    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    Haha....having large windows certainly enhances the enjoyment lol

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    Hahaha! I beg to differ. I adore travelling at high speed on TGV and any other bullet trains. Maybe you need a good song or two playing while cruising at least 300 km/h....a bit like this video from the same journey from the OP!! :D

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    Heh, that's pretty impressive. If the official timinings weren't conservative....it would prolly do the whole journey well under 2 hours but it's better to be conservative, especially for TGV's. As much as I love TGV's, my experience of travelling on them fairly frequently throughout the years...

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    Ok, once this Corona armageddon is done....I'll have to take a trip on this Rhine-Rhone LGV route as you've piqued my interest!

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    Haha! Northern France can be slighty monotonous, especially as the weather is drab and grey most of the time lol Spain and Italy are still on my bucketlist, heh. Regardless of where you are....I don't think you can beat the sensation of speed in the lower deck of a duplex TGV.

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    No doubt it is and the lower deck seating position is considerably lower to the ground compared to a standard non-Duplex TGV which proves your point even more about emphasising the speed

    TGV Sensation of Speed At 320 km/h

    This video shows a 17min snippet of a TGV journey from Paris to Bordeaux at 320 km/h. I don't think I've ever seen any other realtime video from a passenger view which highlights the sensation of speed more, heh.

    Chinese High Speed Train Trip - Beijing to Shenzhen

    Wish I could have travelled to more places on the CRH bullet trains! It's just amazing how these trains can constantly maintain over 300 km/h for such long distances :o

    Chinese High Speed Train Trip - Beijing to Shenzhen

    2 weeks ago I took the 10am G79 train from Beijing to Shenzhen. Now....I've taken many high speed trains from around the world including Shinkansen and TGV's but I must say that I have never seen anything quite like the Chinese bullet trains in terms of consistent speed and smoothness of ride...

    TGV Duplex Video's

    Hello! Just wanted to share some videos I made when I recently travelled on a TGV Duplex at 300 km/h. I was sitting in the lower deck so the sensation of speed is greater than a regular TGV. Hope you enjoy... OZjLVLq8pIY PMAKrd3Wvyo

    Incredible TGV Duplex Journey

    New video I shot on my way back to London from Lille. Not quite as good as the TGV Duplex journey but this wasn't really a slouch!! tCLX4szKlJs

    I guess your right Peter. I just had to!! :D

    Incredible TGV Duplex Journey

    radamfi, do it next time. For many years before, I wondered what it would be like to ride on a TGV Duplex specifically in the lower deck because I noticed how low the windows were to the ground which always made me suspect that the lower centre of gravity would greatly increase the sensation...

    Incredible TGV Duplex Journey

    Oh my goodness...sorry to be overly dramatic but mid-September of this year I went to Annecy(French Alps) and was the first time I've ever boarded a double-decker TGV Duplex. Words can't describe how bloody incredible the journey was....from the high speed....to the breathtaking scenery from...

    High Speed Rail Videos From A Passenger's View

    Greetings! This is my first post and I just wanted to share some high speed rail videos from a passenger's view as I've been travelling a lot on sexy French TGV's recently. I specifically chose to shoot small segments at 300 km/h+ from a passenger's view as I believe it highlights the...
