FRN

SNCF’s “official” TGV speed record attempt — as opposed to its “unofficial” speed record — is apparently taking place on April 3, weather permitting, but you wouldn’t believe the hype in the meantime. The special trainset, in special livery, is the focus of attention (video), and there’s even a contest to win a seat on it.

SNCF knows its PR, for sure. Via TrainBlog and Zug & Eisenbahn Blog.
