Advantages: price,speed,comfort etc etc etc

Disadvantages: they are in france

I have used the TGV, and on each occasion it has been brilliant, it leaves british rail light years behind.
You can buy your tickets up until seconds before the train departs either at the ticket office or even better if your french isnt great, at an automatic ticket machine,you just type in where you want to go etc, and pay by credit card.. simple, and the machine even uses english.
The trains are very punctual. usually leaving on the minute the timetable says .. and of course arriving at each stop the same. On some tracks the trains can do up to 300kph,but whichever track you use the TGV is mighty fast and impressive.The trains are very clean, comfortable and smooth,
