My freind is french he Said that the trains in France and he takes the tgv and he said it was the worlds fastest train in the world when it got its 357mph
Yep, like the Shinkansen, it was the original and still the best, like flying on land. Fluid, Stable and extremely Fast! Use them whenever possible to return to the u.k. from Angoulême.
I personally find the old TGV train more beaufiful than the new duplex one. This older/first model has got this stunning & aggressive appearance. So nice!
If SNCF is smart, they'd study the Amtrak heritage units, and think "that's smart, let's paint one of each tgv type with the old tgv paint schemes." I'd love to see a reseau with the orange paint, 325 with the '90s paint, the only thing that'd be strange would be the duplex with the orange paint.
@@zoulou1383 I didn't add it for ' dramatic ' effect. But you are right, I probably should have mentioned it. Even today, the TGV can give MAGLEV a run for it's money (literally).
@@BOCAJUNIORSJUVENTUS Yes, it is. But the Japanese train which clocked the impressive speed of 603 km/h (not 610 km/h) is a MAGLEV train which means that it is radically different from the TGV. The TGV is a conventional High Speed Train (with wheels unlike the MAGLEV) and therefore, it's speed record is more impressive.
I will always remember the first time I took this beautiful train from Paris Gare de Lyon to Lyon Perrache in 1992. It still makes my pulse race thinking about it.
I have great memories of going to the model train store with my father and buying this orange TGV Sud East model for the large layout we had in the early 1980s. We subsequently bought a couple more sets years later. I hope to build my own layout one day with this TGV as it’s attraction. Definitely my favourite train ever
Magnifique La grande différence avec tout les autres records d'avant et après c'est que celui-ci a été passé sur une rame COMPLETE donc apte au service voyageur Ce qu'elle a fait pendant de longues années avec juste une petite plaque commémorative sous la vitre latérale de la cabine de conduite Rame 16 mais je suis incapable de me souvenir du numéro de série)
The music was added later, its from the Hollywood movie Requiem for a Dream made in 2000 and the music composed by Clint Mansell. Do watch the movie if you haven't, it's marvelous.
What the video doesn't show you is how it feels to travel inside. Even at top speed, it barely shakes. You can walk from the restaurant car back to yours without having to hang on to anything or spilling a single drop. Couldn't be smoother if it was levitating. South Korea operates a more modern variant, it's even more comfortable and has TV's.
Instantly recognisable, aggressive and very distinctive in the orange. One of the best looking trains. I've seen them all lined up at a terminus station whilst riding down to a Harley Davidson HOG rally in the south of France. I'm sure I must have photos, but they will be on 35mm slide film
Incredible,Amazing,Marvellous.... OMG just checkout the low flying cargo plane capturing the video amazing camera on and off the tracks....... It's just just Superb...😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello à tous et toutes ; toujours un plaisir de regarder cette vidéo avec le tgv et le record du monde et dommage qu'il n'ont pas garder la couleur orange sur les tgv d'aujourd'hui
I love this video and I really appreciate the creation and producer of this video. This video looks like a documentary. I really appreciate giving a thumbs up because I really like this video. In my opinion, this is the best video with TGV trains. Thank you very much for the best TGV video. ❤️❤️ (And please don't take the word "I love" literally thank you)
Faire rouler des TGV commerciaux à plus de 400 km/m serait un gouffre financier. En effet la vitesse du TGV est limité par le mur de la caténaire, une ondulation qui circule dans la caténaire (fil conducteur qui apporte de l’électricité au train, ici en 25 000 volts) à 500 km/h. Donc si le TGV venait à rouler à plus 450 km/h il rattraperait l’ondulation de la caténaire, le contact du pantographe (élément du train qui capte l’électricité) avec la caténaire se ferait par intermittence, le TGV n’aurait plus d’apport en électricité et ne pourrait plus maintenir une vitesse élevée. Donc pour limiter le mur de la caténaire il faut tendre plus la caténaire mais ceci accélère son usure. En outre le changement de la caténaire serait plus fréquent or ce type de travaux est délicat sur une ligne à grande vitesse (ils se font de nuit afin de ne pas perturber la circulation des TGV et ce sont des travaux sur du matériel électrique à haute tension), le prix du cuivre (matériaux conducteur utilisé dans la caténaire) est élevé. Par ailleurs lors du dernier record en 2007 (547,8 km/h avec une rame duplex et la caténaire en 30 000 volts), la caténaire a été très tendu et c’était sur la LGV Est toute neuve, conditions particulières. La circulation de TGV à si grande vitesse implique des problèmes de sécurité comme le freinage, les courbes (problème déjà existants), des accidents plus violents (bien que rares mais on est jamais sûr de rien).
BOCAJUNIORSJUVENTUS Si mais les coups seraient plus qu’astronomique, il serait galactique. Il faudrait faire des travaux de remplacement du matériel sans arrêt et donner des formations du niveau de conducteur d’essai à tout mécanicien. Tandis que pour le Maglev, l’équilibre du retour sur investissement serait difficile à atteindre...
Superbe video, images super nettes ! Et tres belle musique en fond sonore. Dire que les PSE etaient neuves a l’epoques et depuis fin 2019 retirees du service...bon la 16 du record de 1981 est sauvegardee. En esperant de meme pour la 01 „Patrick”, le tout premier TGV francais.
They spend serious money on shooting it, must be for export reasons. This vid is what I would show to other countries and say, you need high-speed rail!
French TGV and people : 1981 400km/ph, and we are still not satisfied. Indian Railways and people: 2020 we have Duronto world's fastest superfast train 160 kmph. And soon we will land on Mars & moon. Lolololol
Indian have big population and economy in small compare to china .... So it's take time to get this type of technology ....but seems like you compare your country which has small population and colonial ear... Who looted lots of country....and make your self rich.... India gain by there self ... Not external help fucking idiot.... So much so india surpassed in terms of gdp number.... And india also building there bullet train rail corridor by help of Japanese......
French made the ground transportation really fast and convinient. Engineers deserve many congrats. In my country, Greece, they try to convince people that 160km/h train speed is innovation...
The TGV isn't that fast everywhere. It needs specific tracks. On regular tracks, it runs as slow as regular trains. So, I don't know Greece, but if there are old tracks, 160km/h can be an innovation indeed.
The most beautiful electric traction units... There were no nicer trains.. As I watch this video I find that Poland dale is in the black for France when it comes to rail
C’est beau en photo, mais chaque fois que j’ai pris le tgv, rares sont les fois où je suis parti à l’heure et arrivé à l’heure. Alors les 300km/h ils peuvent se les mettre dans les poches un mouchoir dessus, merci.
40 years later, this is still one of my top 3 all time best designs for a high speed train. What a beauty!
Who's your top 1 and 2?
Truly magnificent !

Oui d,accord
Yes, this is definitely my favorite TGV. They should recolor the Sud-Est back to orange.
If SNCF is smart, they'd study the Amtrak heritage units, and think "that's smart, let's paint one of each tgv type with the old tgv paint schemes." I'd love to see a reseau with the orange paint, 325 with the '90s paint, the only thing that'd be strange would be the duplex with the orange paint.
These orange ones were designed by Jacques Cooper! :-)
I always liked too the old face, more agressive than Duplex/PSO TGV faces.
1981 : TGV at 380 km/h
2007 : TGV at 574.8 km/h
The king of speed!
you've forgot the record of 515km/h in 1990

I bought one too on my French exchange in 1980; so wished I had it now, what a stunning looking beast that was!
Unbelievable engineering and what great cinematography- camera angles, music, editing…..imagine this footage in high resolution….perfection!!
We need this in 8K!
and so emotional
I beg to differ. The music is … really bland to put it kindly.
3:17 3:32 3:51 those shots with the plane are epic!
Other countries could have used a helicopter. But they needed a plane to keep-up with this guy :-D
It's so strange see an airplane flying so near at a train, but it looks impressive!
That was hilarious how they were filming from the open cargo door because it was so fast.
1:57
Let's get this show on the road, Or rails in this case 🤩🤩
380 km/h of pure love and joy for railfans.
Thank you everyone involved...
😁 , plaisir énorme de revoir la toute première livrée du TGV en orange...
c'est la livrer tgv sud-est, apres il y a eu la Atlantique, puis la duplex, est une nouvelle liverer va bientôt ariver, le "TGV-M"
Still one of the best looking passenger train ever made.
Mais qu’est ce qu’il était beau dans sa livrée orange 💕💕💕
J avous
C'est d'autant plus vrai qu'il existe en Lego (L'horizon Express)
Oui et le TGV Atlantique une évolution très jolie aussi !
I was the flight engineer of the transall. I developed the cameraman’s seat on the rear ramp. Great time

Thankfully, Sud Est Set 16 is now preserved along with Atlantique Set 325.
TGV Sud Est, the most beautiful train in the world
Good k
Rgdjvoams
And all the other TGVs
Especially in the orange. One of the power cars from 61 is back in the orange at a museum.
I prefer the Atlantique myself, equally aggressive but tidier cowling on the top.
this is just fantastic!!
I could not imagine such speedy train was invented in 80's era. wowwww!!!
Sure. The 80s was not long ago. Some of the most impressive engineering happened then. Don’t forget the Concorde was flying in the early 70s
They sure had a taste for music back in the early 80’s!
The music was added later, its from the Hollywood movie Requiem for a Dream made in 2000 and the music composed by Clint Mansell.
Do watch the movie if you haven't, it's marvelous.
The PSE sets looked fantastic in orange. 👍🏻
The PSE sets in the original orange livery is by far the most beautiful train ever.
Thank you for the very valuable video. I was moved to see the video of this moment that changed the history of the big railway.

From the movie, Requiem for a Dream
This was is 1981. Friendly reminder that today is January 2024, and from Toronto to Niagara Falls (130 km) it takes you 2:20!
And some years later the TGV Duplex came and did a speed record too!
Fantastic film! Stunning looking train!
unbelievable that they could go that fast on lang back then!
Finally I have it in my N scale collection. And it runs as fast as the real one :)
