After leaving Metz we join LGV Est at Baudrecourt & are quickly travelling at line speed of 320kph/200mph. It’s like flying on land, especially on the top deck of a Duplex. Soon to be us with #HS2 (sans DD)
Fast, sustainable travel

Confirmation of our speed courtesy of @TGVINOUI WiFi portal. At these speeds it doesn’t take long before we arrive at #Strasbourg



Luckily, as I inspect Duplex unit 4713, a @DB_Bahn ICE3 leaves Strasbourg just as my Duplex continues on its way to Montpellier via Dijon, LGV Rhône-Alpes & LGV Méditerranée
With the #TGV gone we can see the delightful Gare de Strasbourg arched roof & the glass bubble that now surrounds the frontage as featured in Episode 7 of @MrTimDunn’s The Architecture the Railways Built
