357mph on a train. Only caught the end of this on C5 but they said it's already safer than most flights. Is it in use yet? Anyone been on it or on a super fast train?

Just watched it. Great program and amazing how fast they go. Not sure If they are in use yet. The new trains will be called the AVG, the older ones are the TGV

Went from Madrid to Valencia for the Villareal game last year and the AVE hit 300km/h.
It was so smooth, never even felt like we were moving. Journey took 90 mins. In terms of the trains themselves, they are comfortable with services including a cafeteria, music on individual systems for each passenger (earphones are provided), films screened in each carriage (you will also use the headphones for this).
Been on the old TGV from Nice - Paris years ago and that was good, but the Spanish one is different class. Booked it in advance, cost about €25.
