The LGV Bordeaux-Toulouse
To face the increasing request of the needs for displacement of travellers and trade and to connect at high speed Toulouse and Midi-Pyrenees in Paris, a project of railway line at high speed between Bordeaux and Toulouse were proposed.
Public debates from June to November 2005 marked the beginning of a project which will connect Toulouse with Paris in three hours and with Bordeaux in one hour by 2016.

In 2020, the traffic freight between the Iberian Peninsula and northern Europe will exceed the 200 million tons: 30,000 trucks crossed the Pyrenees each day.
TCP is a major European rail infrastructure project designed to keep pace with this exponential growth.
The European commission has includes the TCP in its Trans-European Transport Network, while the French and Spanish governments are currently studying possible routes through the Central Pyrenees.
