During my research for my #CrossChannelRail project I’ve long wondered why Eurostar hasn’t signed a deal to buy TGV-M trains from Alstom

Yesterday I found a key reason: accessibility problems with these trains at stations on Channel Tunnel routes

The accessibility problems with Alstom's new TGV-M train - with implications for future Channel Tunnel operators - #CrossBorderRail

The new Alstom built SNCF TGV flagship train – the TGV-M – was presented in Paris today. The launch offered the first look at the interior of the train that ought to be running on tracks in France sometime in 2026, all being well.

Perkins Coie was the law firm I used when I ran Cloudera. They provided outstanding representation on a wide variety of matters. We did substantial and important business with the Federal government -- I remain enormously proud of that collaboration.
