All aboard the TGV to Barcelona. This time, weâre told, itâs finally going to happen. From December 15, direct high-speed trains will link Paris and Barcelona. They will travel at up to 320kph (199mph), completing the trip to the Catalan capital in six hours 17 minutes â the existing direct train takes almost 12 hours. There have been several false starts along the way.
Eurostar said there was nothing âtechnicallyâ to stop that limit being raised to 200mph once the new trains come into service. The company, which operates high-speed services to Paris and Brussels from Londonâs St Pancras station, is to buy ten of the German-built trains which will carry 900 passengers.
