    Do they really go this fast? Yes they do...

    It's all good until the idiot lorry driver stalls his rig on a crossing.

    I'm really surprised they can attain that speed with iron wheels on an iron track powered by overhead wire.

    Fast trains are needed in France. They expedite the retreat.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
