Munich - TGV Duplex

Train head no. 310012 of the TGV Duplex train set no. 4706, that had just arrived from Paris Est with only about half an hour delay... (which was probably accrued in the German part of the trip).

 

The "Duplex" variant of the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse = high-speed train) features bi-level carriages, is manufactured by Alstom and was introduced to increase capacity on busy TGV lines (such as Paris Est - Munich).

 

This here is the "Euroduplex" variant which is multi-system capable and has a top speed of 320 km/h (=200 mph for the "imperialists").
