I agree U.K. generally doesn't have huge rivers and big mountains all over the place and is densely populated with mild weather. Should be near ideal railway building country.
200km/h (125mph) is the same exact speed an Amtrak/MARC AEM& regional can do. In fact, if I could duplicate such a video like this one on a grey day, I'd go to one of the Shore Line East Stations and watch as the Regionals would go by at 125mph along the Old Saybrook-Branford stretch
@RobertPaniagua No they don't. There is no way even Acela Express (fastest train in the US) could even touch the TGV. MARC's may say maximum 200km/h but never go that fast ever. I bet the track is rated at 125km/h MAX, if that.
TGVs are as much and as often late (departure time + arrival) as other railway services in france. and, it is now fu***** expensive [i am a daily user of different railways over the rench territory]
Average nominal speeds for TGVs have for at least the past 8 years been — and this is on regular, daily passenger services — 300 kmh, i.e., 186 mph. On many services, the speeds have been greater, and now, with the inauguration of the AGV system (Alstom/SCNF), daily nominal speeds will be closer to 400 kmh. The French (Alstom/SNCF) test-lab train which broke the world speed record in April 2007 peaked at 548 kmh. Why are we so behind, after accomplishing the Apollo Missions, last one Dec 1972?
How do you get to the station where you shot the tgv's passing by? I am traveling to paris soon, and would love to go there. It looks like the sign says Thouare station in the video.

No, this isn't a high speed line but a conventional one. TGV can hit 220 k/h on some of them.
