wonder how much the French government has to spend on this project."

Only what it cost to upgrade the track and road crossings. The innovative work for the trains themselves was down at least 20 years ago.

1 - Spending 20 years ago by the French government was still French government spending. Its still part of the cost.

2 - I believe some upgrades of design have happened since then.

3 - The trains themselves are more expensive then normal trains.


What are you saying Tim? The TGV trains are waste of money? A little too progressive for your tastes? What is it that has you upset? That Americans didn't develop them first?
