French TGV sets new speed record
http://english.people.com.cn/200702/15/eng20070215_350206.html

The high-speed train known as TGV has set a new speed record in rail transport by reaching 553 km/h, thus breaking the earlier record of 515.3 km/h set in 1990, French daily Le Parisien reported on Wednesday.

According to the daily, the record was set Tuesday afternoon at the small town of Passavant-en-Arrogne, 190 km from Paris and 50 km east of Chalon-en-Champagne.

The record was set by a specially designed train made up of two locomotives and three railcars driving on the railway of the future East TGV linking Paris and Strasbourg in eastern France.

Officials of the French company Alstom Transport which manufactures the TGV had indicated in December 2006 that their objective in 2007 was to attain the speed of between "550 to 570 km/h."

They added that an "official" attempt is planned to take place "most likely at the beginning of April."

Excuse my ignorance but are they extending Marseille St Charles?
Yes: since 10 years at least !!!

In the futur, there will be an other TGV Station in Marseille next to old "Blancarde Station": it will open with the HSR track "Italy-Catalonia" (Genova)-Nice-Toulon-Marseille-Avignon-Montpellier-Narbonne-Perpignan-(Barcelona)

[Douly]

yeah it is kind of a non ending construction site. Normally the "halle honorat extension" is to open by June 2007 (but I am pretty sure it is going to be delayed...another time).

Actually the whole city center is "under construction" due to euromed projects, tram and extension of the metro.

Urban planners are currently working on Marseille's Blancarde train station, trying to figure out how it can be extended to receive LGV ARC MED trains.

How big will this extension be?

Is the main problem fitting in 400 metre long platforms?
