A new era has opened on France's super fast train network, TGV, which will see trains travelling at speeds of up to 320 kph (200 mph.) between Paris and Strasbourg cutting the travelling time between the two cities to 2h 20m. at a cost of around €241 million.
France's Transport minister, Dominique Perben, made the inaugural journey along with French business leaders and guests aboard the new TGV-Est before attending a lavish evening ceremony.
As part of a show broadcast on national television, around 3000 torches were due to be lit in a wave along the entire 300 kilometres of track.
More than 400,000 disabled people travel by trains in France each year and it is the objective of SNCF to improve the accessibility and services for the disabled by 2015.
The need to provide better services for the disabled has led to a new project “Access More”; a new free service that will allow people to better organise their travel.
Irish Ferries are taking the meaning of 'reduced mobility' to its furthest extent, which some companies seem to ignore and for people who fall into this category can only be good news.

Irish Ferries intend to replace their present passenger/ro-ro ferry, ‘Normandy’ with a newer, more luxurious vessel on the Ireland – France route.
The ferry, yet to be named, will enter into service before the end of the year and operate out of Rossiare to Roscoff and Cherbourg. The marketing director of Irish Ferries, Tony Kelly, is reported to have said that the vessel will be ‘bigger, better and faster than the originating vessel, will have a greater car and freight capacity, more berths and a wider choice of stylish cabin accommodation.’
When we moved to France we only had our Volkswagen Sharan people carrier.
Travelling backwards and forwards to England with my wheelchair and buying items for the house, we decided the best thing to do was to keep the car. We wouldn't have recouped our money on the car so we reregistered it in France.
Other people have followed the following series of events and found the process fairly pain free! One couple had a brand new English car and didn't want to sell it; finding it suitable for their purposes.
My husband wrote his manual for reregistering your car in France. This is for the Cote d'Or but bear in mind it might be a little different in your department but the basics are the same.
