C’est effectivement un joli exploit, mais au vu du cout important pour ce record du monde, etait il necessaire et que va t’il apporter de plus sachant que sa vitesse moyenne (en fonction des troncons) ne depasse pas les 320 km heure, je reste dubitatif. voici un extrait du journal Britannique "le Times" qui s’interroge egalement du silence des medias francais sur cette question.

The record had cost €30 million to stage and taken a year to plan, but none of the French media asked questions about cost. No one even mentioned that the €5 billion TGV Est line had been approved despite official predictions that it would never make a profit,

Our souvenir tickets had “L’excellence Francaise” stamped across them and it would be impossible to put a price on the national pride beaming from every French face on board and reflected in those of the thousands who lined the route.
