- Svip 7y agoOK, you're right. I should have clarified my statement; there have been no serious incidents on LGV tracks while in service. Level crossing accidents and collisions take place outside the LGV tracks, when the TGV run on standard railway tracks. Only one high speed derailment caused fatalities, and that was during a test run.
- jgtrosh 7y agoThanks I'd never seen this. So there have been quite a few incidents, but the takeway at the top seems to be there has been no fatality “at high-speed”. I guess that's something to be proud of, but that's still far from a perfect track record.
