He said the windows on the TGV leaked like sieve, the engineering drawings weren't current with the designs actually being made, etc, etc. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I just believe it. French railroads are not efficient, but fast and impressive. <br />The SNCF is heavily overstaffed and many standards (like clearances) are obsolete. Even freight services lose money in there.
