TGV questions.
I have just returned from holiday on the Costa Brava, Spain, thought i would do it differently this year and travelled by train.
The Eurostar arrived in Paris on time, we then crossed the city to join our TGV train at Gare de Lyon, the TGV never ceases to amaze me, not only its speed but its smooth running.
This service is planned in the future to run to Barcelona, but at the moment terminates at Figueres Vilafant, which was opened in Jan. 2012.
I have two questions to ask ------ has anyone any info when the link will be completed to Barcelona, also the new track appears to have a single concrete block supporting the rail and chair instead of a right across traditional sleeper, how is any creep controlled? could there be a tie rod joining the blocks which is buried under the ballast? your help please!
