TGV Bercy Paris France 8th December 1985

            I can't remember now if it was a coincidence that the TGV unit that set the world speed record in 1981 was in the platform at Bercy or it had been organised by the IFC to add more interest to its Petite Ceinture steam hauled  "train du Pere Noel". Perhaps I never did know but whatever we got the chance to footplate the driving cab.

It has been broken since but Operation TGV 100, referring to a target speed of 100 metres per second (360 km/h, 224 mph), took place on 26 February 1981 shortly before the opening of the LGV Sud-Est and ended with a speed record of 380 km/h (236 mph) set by TGV Sud-Est trainset number 16.
