Article plagiarized from TGVWeb
It's not "based" on the article; it's a word-for-word copy. Not only that, it's not written in an encyclopedic formal style and copied over the weasel words. What to do?

 * Please note the definition of plagiarism (Wiktionary). The word-for-word copy only appears to be a problem, insofar as bits don't conform to the Manual of Style. Tim PF (talk) 23:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Specification mismatches
The article says that TGV Duplex has 10 cars and "Bo'Bo'+2'2'2'2'2'2'+Bo'Bo'" axle arrangement. However, that would only mean 20 axles, and I'm not sure it's common to have 10 cars on as few as 20 axles with 2-axle bogies. Moreover, the stated weight of 380 t would imply average axle load of 19 t, which is above the mentioned LGV limit of 17 t. So I suspect the axle arrangement is wrong. BTW the French wikipedia says the axle arrangement is Bo'Bo'-9*2'-Bo'Bo'. 85.71.157.74 (talk) 16:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Could use a photo.
This could benefit from an interior photo of the train. How low is the ceiling ? Do tall people have to crawl about ?Eregli bob (talk) 02:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Move proposal
TGV Duplex -> SNCF TGV Duplex I believe this article should be moved in order to create uniformity within the titles. Since the "SNCF" prefix is used for other TGV articles such as SNCF TGV Reseau and SNCF TGV Sud-Est. Slender (talk) 23:29, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Relevance of innovations
Since I am only vaguely interested in the technical details of railway coaches, but feel the actual implications they have for traffic are much more important to a broader readership, it would be good if those were formulated.

E.g.: A low weight per seat might impact rail wear, which in turn extends maintenance-free operational time periods of a railway corridor? Also, what is the relevance of the _installed_ power per weight? Maximum acceleration might also depend on achievable friction, which in turn should depend crucially on the absolute weight? The article could be improved a lot at this point by adding just a little bit of context. 141.20.64.219 (talk) 10:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
