The Guardian - France’s high-speed TGV trains ‘running out of steam’ – official report, by Anne Penketh in Paris 26 October 2014
Audit Office blames pressure from local authorities for creation of ‘incoherent’ network that often failed to meet necessary criteria
From the article: "According to the French report, 33 years after the first TGV was launched, 40% of TGV trains still travel on conventional track rather than the specially built high-speed lines."
Still, trains in France are better than in the UK. They are more frequent and not as expensive.
