	Korea Train Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korea Train Express (KTX) is South Korea's high speed train system.
		The train's technology is largely based on the French TGV system, and features top speeds of 300 km/h or more.
		46 trains will be built in all: twelve in France by Alstom, the remaining in South Korea by local manufacturers.

	TGV - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The train was articulated, meaning that its two carriages shared a bogie between them which allowed them to move freely with respect to one another.
		Because TGV trains travel too fast for their operators to see and react to traditional lineside signals, an automated system called TVM (Transmission Voie-Machine, or track to train transmission) is used for signalling on LGVs.
		The maximum permitted speed is based on factors such as the proximity of trains ahead (with steadily decreasing maximum permitted speeds in blocks closer to the rear of the next train), junction placement, speed restrictions, the top speed of the train and distance from the end of LGV track.

	Thalys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This track is shared with Eurostar trains that go from Paris or Brussels to London via Lille and the Channel Tunnel and with French domestic TGV trains.
		The system uses two models of trains, the PBA and the PBKA, which both belong to the TGV (train à grande vitesse) family of high-speed trains built by Alstom in France, although they are not identical to domestic TGV sets.
		Trains to these destinations run partly on dedicated high-speed tracks (some of these are yet to be built), and partly on older tracks shared with normal-speed trains.

		It is bordered to the north by North Korea, and Japan lies across the Korea Strait to the southeast.
		The border between North and South Korea is considered the most heavily fortified border in the world, and while some crossings have occurred at the truce village of Panmunjeom, one of the cases (a Soviet defector in 1984) was shot at by both sides and, although he survived, you might not be so lucky.
		Motels in South Korea are generally very cheap hotels targeted at young couples aiming to spend 'time' together away from their elders, complete with gaudy (occasionally vibrating)plastic beds with strategically placed mirrors on the ceiling, as well as a VCR and a variety of appropriate videos.

		Using high-speed track for only a part of the distance (Seoul-Daegu), the new line cuts travel time between Seoul and Busan from 260 minutes to 160 minutes; a further improvement to 116 minutes is expected in 2010, when the train shifts to run fully on high-speed tracks.
