Thank you for the overview.
As a bit of pre-history, until the early 1970s SNCF actually wanted to use gas turbines for their high speed train, considering the difficulties of pantographs during the high speed tests of 1955. So the "TGV 001" test unit was equipped with gas turbines, similar to the earlier ETG and RTG trains. During the 1970s, also considering the oil crisis, they changed their opinion and developed new overhead wire systems and pantographs to work at high speed. A contemporary film about the TGV 001:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VTfoSltNRI

Alstom also developed an articulated train with distributed traction, the AGV. That one however was not ordered by SNCF, it was only built for Italian ntv (italo) so far.
Likewise one TGV was tested with tilting technology in order to reduce travel times on classic lines, specifically Paris Austerlitz via Limoges to Toulouse (le Capitole). No series production came out of it.

In addition to the Euroduplex currently under construction, the next generation has already been ordered, 100 Avelia Horizon units:
https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2018/7/alstom-receives-sncf-order-100-next-generation-very-high-speed-trains
The improvements mentioned are: 20% lower cost, shorter power cars and new doubledeck bar car increasing passenger space by 20% at the same length, 30% lower maintenance cost, 20% lower energy consumption. The press release does not mention any equipment for international operation. I assume that's optional.

Great video. For a few that were missed outside of the ones other commenters have mentioned:

Eurotrain: A test train created for the THSR which used ICE power cars and TGV duplex carriages.

TGV P01: A TVG with tilting technology.

AGV Eilsa: Prototype of the TGV successor/Avelia predecessor. It had an EMU formation with distributed traction instead of a power car-carriages formation.

Acela Express: American version using TGV and LRC technology.

Avelia Liberty : Acela successor based on upcoming TGV M/Avelia Horizon.

Where on earth did you heard about a Japanese college about HST in France ?
And early 80's would have been too late as TGV's were developed in the 70's and test running in 1980.
The Japanese were always very protective of their technology, as many other nations, and I really doubt they'd consider, let alone open, a technology transfer learning institution during the 80's in the very same country that is competing with them after the said country had already developed its own trains on its own.
Also given that TGV's and Shinkansen's were maybe the furthest apart of any HST in terms of technology.
The last time I heard a story of sorts, it was almost exactly the same but this time it was about a Spanish train engineering college in Paris that designed for Jacobs bogies typical of the TGV.
And I've also heard pretty much the same story but with an English college.
Which country will it be next time ?
Is that so unbelievable for the French to be able to develop a great thing on their own that everyone has to come with a different origin / rip-off story ?

About journey times : you'd be surprised by how much of an impact a couple dozen minutes have on ridership and economic boost.
Some destinations in France, Germany and Spain had experienced radical economic boost by cutting down journey times by a few.
However I can't wrap my head around the fact that HS1 & HS2 won't really be linked together even though they arrive almost next to each other. Given the huge spending, why not link them together so that trains could run from Manchester to Paris directly ?
Paris and Madrid have high-speed links / bypasses between their main lines so that trains can continue on.
If I remember correctly my numerous trips on the Eurostar, HS1 cut down the trip from London to Paris by almost an hour, wasn't it ?
It went from 3h and a few to 2h15 or something.
This is way more than a couple minutes !
And when you use the tunnel for work, round tripping the same day, it gives you more time working on site or relaxing at home.

The "La Poste" TGVs also had special devices under the floor to measure the weight for the loaders (people) to synchronize the weight on both sides of the cars in order that the final weight on each rail was close to equivalent. If my memory serves me right, they were removed from service in 2009.

You might have forgotten about the PBKA Thalys version. This is the kind of Thalys train that also runs to Cologne. And the TGV that goes to the UK (that's now slowly replaced by the Siemens e320). But it's still a great video

Joris S

@Fû GF yes, they have different traction motors (asynchronous for the first time in France) so the power electronics also changed, and more safety systems. But Overall their design was clearly based on the TGVs, retaining the general structure (just adapted to the smaller loading gauge) and the bogies for example.

I think I used all lines besides the Thalys one and I really can say it's the best transport system I know of. I really love the TGV and everytime I'm using the system I'm so happy it exists. Meanwhile using the ICE is just such a different story. It sucks so much in comparison it really annoys me! Like why the DB is so against Duplex cars? Or can't adopt the Ouigo trains? I don't get it...
But I'm really sceptical if liberating the market is such a good thing. In my opinion the state should provide it. It's much better for the countrys rail network. Because private companies will always just pick the profitable lines. But a good network also inherits non profitable lines. It's state infrastructe for the people not to make profit.
But anyways looking forward for my next TGV ride :)

As a dutch person that loves making videos about transport infrastructure, I really hope there will come more highspeed trains in the Netherlands!

Lodai974

@Linke Kever For HSL yes,not really for 100-120kph speed on commuter lines.Moreover it seems to me that the electronics necessary to pass from the 1500dc to the three-phase that the motors require is simpler (less weight),and more with the PMSM.

Almerinda Romeira

@konigdermasai Austria is a very good example. They upgraded their network to let the Railjet go up to 230kmh. If the Netherlands did that in addition to 25kV I think it was set for a promising future in the railroad world. The upgrade would also help improve cargo trains going to the ports.

konigdermasai

That's why usually HSR is best used in big elongated countries like Spain, China, Japan or France. Or could be for the USA

konigdermasai

@Almerinda Romeira I should have written a longer answer in the previous email.
You're absolutely right. Point is you'll have to then support local and HSR infrastructure at the same time, meaning stricter less curvy paths, dedicated rails & different signals and power infrastructure. Can a small country support both at the same time? And what would the different in time be for that? All that just for international passengers.
It's definitely better to have HSR than not, but pros & cons for NL are interested when considered.
Stricter less curvy rails also mean not being able to pass near every town, or that you'll need differentiated freight and passengers rails

Almerinda Romeira

@konigdermasai i get your point. HSR needs some distance to get up to speed, but you have to think about the international connections of the Netherlands. Faster travels to and from the Netherlands like Berlin–Amsterdam but also through like Antwerp—Hamburg

You did an excellent job! One thing I would have added was that the TGV Atlantique were also refurbished (2005-2010) and received a revised grey livery and new interior made by famous fashion designer Christian LaCroix. Now many of the first Atlantique trainsets are being retired and replaced by new Duplex 2N2 “L’Ocean” versions which is the latest Duplex version after Duplex, DAYSE, and 2N2. Some of the newer model Atlantique’s as of 2021 are being refurbished a second time and are getting the Carmillion paint similar to the Reseau and Sud Est.

In theory you missed the Thalys PBKA and Eurostar e300 TSMT, but since those weren't built for TGV services, I can see why. Under development and early stages of prototyping is the new TGV-M (Moderne) which is marketed by Alstom as the Avelia Horizon. These trains will use a nearly identical powercar to the one on the Avelia Liberty being built for Amtrak's Acela service in the United States.

Lodai974

@Railways Explained Clever!!

The first trainset is assembled and will begin its tests (2 power cars 7 cars). For the power cars, they are visually identical to those of the Acela 2. It is inside that this changes, mainly the engines and their placement .

The Acela 2 uses a derivative of the Prima motors, motors suspended from the body (via parts of course). The TGV M will use a brand new Asynchronous motor of reduced size, but outputting a higher power... and it will be suspended from the bogie. As for the control system, probably the usual OniX.

ERTMS lvl2

ETCS is the standard for new high speed lines but converting all the existing lines would be very expensive and take a long time, so the trains still need to be equipped for multiple systems.

Francesco

Because trains are much older than the EU. There are projects about adopting common standards such as the ERTMS but other things like electrification is very hard to change as countries would need to change all their locomotives. Plus even with France there are two different voltages!

At 6:49, the picture shows a TGV sud-est, despite it is written TGV réseau. The difference is the roof of the driving cabin, which is lower than the rest of the roof. The next seconds show a real TGV réseau with the front light imbedded in the high roof.

For the Thalys, there are 3-current ones with the same shape as its predecessor and 4-current ones with a more aerodynamic (round) design. We can see a coupling of the 2 kinds at 08:08.

While the power units of Avelia Horizon are similar to the Avelia Liberty for Amtrak, the middle cars will be the same as Duplex but longer. Also the bar car of the Duplex trains so far has a technical compartment in the lower deck so it's single deck; the new Avelia Horizon appear to be doubledeck throughout.

The Acela is a much more remote derivative. Its power cars are heavier and share components with the Astride locomotive, while the tilting trailers have nothing in common with the TGV (they're mostly a derivative of Bombardier's LRC).

I was wondering: Alstom also built the AGV - Automotrice à Grande Vitesse - with no motor cars at either end. But these were only sold to an Italian high-speed rail operator.

Lodai974

@James Yeow Duplexes use squirrel cage asynchronous associated with IGBT VVVF.

AGVs use PMSM associated with IGBT VVVF.

Contrary to what one might think, the Avelia uses the same motors as the duplex (except for the TGV M version) coupled with IGBT VVVF (same modulation)

Hugo P

SNCF decided to increase the capacity by trains with Duplex to increase turnover per unit and avoid multiple units.
Sncf thought reduce tolls by trains but the tax increases anyway.
Beside of that, some major lines, out of Paris, lost a lot of trains due to the arrival of Duplex. Instead of purposing 350~ seats by train, the Duplex purposes more than 500 and it's hard to complete them fully.
So now, they reduce the frequency on certains lines...
AGV would be great for HSL that don't deserve Paris but our network in France is joining Paris anyway instead of others medium size cities relations.

James Yeow

2y↑1

My guess would be it's propulsion is different from the traditional TGVs and probably SNCF was waiting for something more innovative like the Avelia Horizon.

Joris S

2y↑2

Because in double-deck cars (complying with the restrictive loading gauge) there is not enough empty space whatsoever to fit traction equipment (and it would make the axle load too heavy). You'd need to completely redesign the architecture of the train and in the end I don't think you would have more space for passengers as an optimized design like the TGV M.
It's a different problem from single-deck trains, which have enough space under the floor and on the roof to fit all equipment and can optimize the space on board this way.

By the way there is new type of TGV in production. They are considered as the 5th generation of TGVs and they are going released in late 2023 I believe.
These TGVs are going to be more aerodynamic and the 2 locomotives will be smaller in length just so they can add a extra passenger car to the train

Lodai974

@Pete S. This is because the power electronics must be distributed over the train, in the case of distributed motorization. And this electronics takes up space, so you cannot do duplex without exceeding the gauge (See the Coradia stream bi -level for Germany or Luxembourg).

The SNCF also uses concentrated power coaches to facilitate maintenance and separates the maintenance of coaches from those of coaches that are not aligned with time.

So it's not a question of motors (moreover the AGV uses PMSMs and the TGV-M uses new asynchronous even smaller than those of euroduplex).

I was thinking that nowadays they may make all the bogies have motors like other modern high speed trains seem to have hence no need for locomotives but then again tgv are the fastest trains with wheels.

@Lodai974 No it's quite rare that power cars swich sets. It mostly happened after one was destroyed and of course for the POS/RD and Ouigo/neoduplex swaps. There 3 spare power cars (one Réseau, one Duplex and one 2N2) to use when one is disabled, but it takes some time to swap a power car so they don't do it regularly. Most sets run with the same power cars all their life.

the sncf wants to keep the concentrated motorization to facilitate maintenance.

In fact, the power cars are numbered, not the coachs. The power cars are never with the same duplex coach all their life, but keep changing.

Is TGV series are compatible at Indonesia?

@Odilius Herlambang This is the weird side, Japan having invaded Indonesia during WWII...

but let's move on, it's also because American or Japanese trains are in Hollywood or Japanese production films (mainly in animes).moreover, as you say, Europeans are no longer popular in Indonesia, whatever the reasons.

After the Europeans are well established in Asia, many metros are designed by Alstom (Family Metropolis), Siemens, or CAF .... (India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Sydney, etc ...). .

...or had partly European metros (like the Seoul metro series 4000-5000-6000-7000 which had Korean trains but with Alstom or ABB engines)

@Lodai974 this is the biggest problem, most people and railfans prefer products from America, China, Japan and South Korea, the rest are local products, namely INKA Manufacturing. But if I look at it from a social perspective, there are a lot of Indonesians who are anti-Western (European) countries, due to past factors where Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, UK and France has colonized Indonesia, it is very unlikely that they will invite Manufacturing investors such as Alstom, Siemens, CAF and Talgo to establish a branch company in Indonesia and bring TGV, AGV, Avril, Oaris or Velaro technology to my country. But there is a Switzerland Manufacturer called Stadler Rail which will build a manufacturing company in Banyuwangi.

@Odilius Herlambang so yes TGV can use KCIC tracks because Chinese TGV are come from French, German and Japanese TGVs.
For the Sulawesi and Borneo tracks, probably yes but it is better to have HSL. it allows to use the potential of bullet trains

@Lodai974 yes Indonesia has 1435 mm gauge at Kalimantan & Sulawesi island but obviously Java island now has 1435 mm but it was for China HSR as Jakarta Bandung high speed rail (KCIC)

1435 mm gauge in indonesia? for the rest, everything is adaptable (current type ,template etc ...)

While TGV is awesome, when you board another type of train in France, you realize it is not as good as you would expect from a developed western country.

To export & sell, the technology of super-high speed lines and trains, the Japanese set up a College in France back in the early 1980's. Something the French usually forget to mention ! From this, as we have seen, the French followed by the Germans took up the technology and made their own various alterations to the basic principles. The most notable French difference being Power Cars at each end, & short articulated carriages, instead of distributed power throughout regular length carriages, as with Shinkansen.

There then followed a drive to re-export the technology with Japan, France & Germany all competing for the business. Hence Korea, China, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Morocco and others have joined the high speed "club". The drive in Britain for this technology, is somewhat muted. As Britain had been able to add fairly high speed trains (HST 125mph, Pendolino 140mph) to the regular network. Which means the step change to 186mph, does not offer such a great advance as in many other countries. Which then reflects on the cost of having to build special new railway routes to allow for 186mph trains.

Britain was effectively forced into this technology, by the advent of the Channel Tunnel, due to the necessity to compete with airlines between London & Paris. Under an EU directive to remove as many Airline services (pollution) from the skies over Europe, and replace them with super high speed trains.
BR therefore contributed to the construction of the, High speed TGV clone called "Eurostar" for that service. The British Government later built "HS1" the high speed route from the Channel tunnel to St. Pancras. Something BR had pointed out was superfluous, as it only reduced journey time to London by a matter of minutes, as its a longer route than the initial Dover to Waterloo route, wasting Billions of tax payers money in the process !

Back in 1958 at the annual Railway Engineering Conference, the Japanese contingent, climbed on stage and announced they would build a "High Speed Railway" from Tokyo to Osaka (roughly 400 miles). With 125mph trains every 10 minutes. All controlled from ONE computerised signalbox in Tokyo, using in cab signalling. Which would also control volcanically heated water to clear away snowfalls, & bring trains to a safe halt if an Earthquake hit any part of the railway. In response the Worlds Railway engineering delegates all fell about laughing, and told the Japanese they had been watching too many of their own Killer B movies (Godzilla etc). In 1964 and in time for the Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese opened their first line (Tokkaido line). During the 2 weeks of the Tokyo Olympics, the TOTAL lateness of ALL the hundreds of Shinkansen trains operated, was a mere 8 minutes and 10 seconds !!!!!!!!!

@CoopCoop it is above all the concept of dedicated routes that the Europeans took over from the Japanese.

For Japan, it was mandatory, from start to finish, because the gauge of the rails had to be 1435mm and not 1067mm because of the high speed desired.

For Europeans the question arose, and the choice was mixed, dedicated lanes outside agglomerations, and fusion with local traffic to serve the central stations of large cities.

When at speed the Shinkansen Serie 0 was going to 210km / h at the beginning (in 1964) at the same time the conventional trains in France were going to 160kph and 200kph on certain sections. Just like certain conventional lines in Japan they bore prestigious name : Mistral , Capitole, North Star....or TEE.

Ahah, I have never read such a fallacious, misleading and ignorant comment on the subject in all the time I have been on this video platform. France didn't wait for Japan to produce and innovate in high speed, as early as the 50's France proved that it was largely capable of achieving this goal and even surpassing it +300klm/h). CC 7100, BB 9003, TGS, ETG, TGV 001... in 1967, the Capitole with its BB 9200 was already reaching 200 klm/h in regular service. Whether gas turbine or electric, nothing has been copied.... And the TGV did not appear by magic at the end of the 80's, it took a long time to get there.

The technology was acquired on all levels, the aerodynamics was not copied from the Japanese, but was strongly inspired by aeronautics and racing cars, fields in which France also excelled.

The only point on which the Europeans (France and Germany mainly) were surely inspired by Japan was the infrastructure. These two countries already had a gigantic network, aging and differing according to the region, so they had to reinvent everything and start on new bases, so get inspired. And even in this case the result was completely different from the Japanese.

I look forward to your sources concerning this mysterious Japanese college in France lmao.

Again a nationalist Briton contemplating continental Europe if not EU HS trains and stating bullshit.
Look at the trains in Brexshited Global Britain...
Ps. Actually high speed development for trains in France started earlier than the 80's. It's factual and it's not English perfidy.
