A few months ago I made a network map showing the high speed rail connections in #France. Unfortunately, the official #SNCF #TGV map only shows the stops and whether there is a connection or not. However, I wanted to better understand which cities and regions are directly connected.
Voilà the 2024 update of my 🇫🇷 high speed rail map! Feel free to explore and boost!

High-Speed Rail in France 2024

My high-speed rail France map has got an update for 2024. There have not been major changes concerning the high-speed connections. However, already in autumn 2023, the brands of Eurostar and Thalys…

@larstransportworld wow cool map, even if I don’t use it, it is a very nice graphical representation

Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge sind gut, aber am Beispiel Schweiz sieht man, daß Pünktlichkeit und Verlässlichkeit Vorrang haben sollten.

@Varpie @larstransportworld No. It just shows that LGV are designed from Paris.
The connections just use older railway links around Paris.

@larstransportworld I love your map. Luckily my local area with Augsburg is included.

So I can hopp to Paris (which I already knew).

With your map I have some new ideas. For example 3h to Strassbourg, stay there a few days and then 6h to Montpellier.

I guess I have a new entry on my bucket list. Thank you!

@larstransportworld Great work ! I'm working on an interactive public transport map of France.

Representing direct vs non direct trains is a challenge. I'll study your work. It won't be this beautiful.

Attached: 1 image Lignes SNCF cartographiées *en prenant en compte la fréquence*, avec affichage des trajets directs. Ça permet de visualiser une densité des lignes : j'aurai peu de Paris-Brest directs, mais beaucoup de directs Paris-Rennes. Encore une confirmation que ce réseau est avant tout géré pour les parisiens. (Avec probablement des données manquantes, vu la Normandie. À moins que leur liaisons TER soient dans le jeu de données de la région, à explorer)

@maeool Great! Interactive maps are always a big extra!

@larstransportworld Very cool (and so much better than the official one).

Small thing: rather than "plus que sept trains par jour" it should be "plus de sept trains par jour". Same thing for "moins que quatre", should be "moins de quatre".

@larstransportworld Great work !
Do you know that if everything you put on the map are lines taken by high speed capable trains (TGV), not all portions allow these trains to go at high speed ?
For instance, Bordeaux to Toulouse is not at high speed yet.

Une excellente carte, merci pour la création / le partage !
Une erreur potentielle (mais c'est peut-être moi): Le TGV Paris (Lyon) - Genève s'arrête dans mon expérience à Bellegarde avant Genève et pas Nurieux.
Voilà, ce n'est pas important et ça ne change rien à l'utilité extrême de cette carte pour planifier des voyages !
Show threadlars' transport worldMar 14, 2024
@jicka Merci. Il y a un train par jour qui s'arrête à Nurieux et Bellegarde. C'est pourquoi l'arrêt à Nurieux est représenté par un cercle en pointillés. Mais je suppose que le placement des gares peut prêter à confusion. C'est un peu étroit.

@larstransportworld Great map, maybe a hint: there is one TGV (almost) each Saturday from Freiburg to Bordeaux. Don't know if you do those, but it's a handy connection from Germany bypassing Paris terminus stations.
Show threadlars' transport worldMar 14, 2024
@spyonmetoo Thank you! I can imagine that this connection can be quite nice. Since it only runs once a week, I didn't include it. Anyway, you are not the first to miss it, so maybe I should consider changing my mind 😄 However, especially in France, showing every single connection would be very overloaded...

@larstransportworld I mean there is a simple answer to the question. "Paris is connected. The rest is just there as decoration". Yes, our train "network" is stupidly one-siided.
