In this week’s episode, climb aboard an institution in France: the TGV. The high-speed bullet train is an important part of the French landscape that’s been connecting the far flung parts of the country for over 40 years. The first journey of a TGV was inaugurated by President Francois Mitterrand in September 1981. Not only was it an industrial feat, it revolutionised modern train travel and decentralised the country. So what does the TGV of the future look like and can it keep France's state-owned railway company, the SNCF, on track against growing competition?
