Editing TGV (section)

===On classic lines===
* 31 December 1983: A bomb allegedly planted by the terrorist organisation of [[Carlos the Jackal]] exploded on board a TGV from Marseille to Paris; two people were killed.
*28 September 1988: TGV 736, operated by set 70 "Melun", collided with a lorry carrying an electric transformer weighing 100 tonnes that had become stuck on a level crossing in [[Voiron]], Isère. The vehicle had not obtained the required crossing permit from the French ''Direction départementale de l'équipement''. The weight of the lorry caused a very violent collision; the train driver and a passenger died, and 25 passengers were slightly injured.
* 4 January 1991: after a brake failure, TGV 360 ran away from Châtillon depot. The train was directed onto an unoccupied track and collided with the car loading ramp at Paris-Vaugirard station at {{convert|60|km/h|abbr=on}}. No one was injured. The leading power car and the first two carriages were severely damaged, and were rebuilt.
* 25 September 1997: TGV 7119 from Paris to [[Dunkerque]], operated by set 502, collided at {{convert|130|km/h|abbr=on}} with a 70 tonne asphalt paving machine on a level crossing at Bierne, near Dunkerque. The power car spun round and fell down an embankment. The front two carriages left the track and came to a stop in woods beside the track. Seven people were injured.
* 31 October 2001: TGV 8515 from Paris to Irun derailed at {{convert|130|km/h|abbr=on}} near [[Dax, Landes|Dax]] in southwest France. All ten carriages derailed and the rear power unit fell over. The cause was a broken rail.
* 30 January 2003: a TGV from Dunkerque to Paris collided at {{convert|106|km/h|abbr=on}} with a heavy goods vehicle stuck on the level crossing at Esquelbecq in northern France. The front power car was severely damaged, but only one bogie derailed. Only the driver was slightly injured.
* 19 December 2007: a TGV from Paris to Geneva collided at about {{convert|100|km/h|abbr=on}} with a truck on a level crossing near [[Tossiat]] in eastern France, near the Swiss border. The driver of the truck died; on the train, one person was seriously injured and 24 were slightly injured.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKL1955864420071219 |title=French TGV train hits lorry and kills one |publisher=Reuters UK |date=19 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207155431/http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKL1955864420071219 |archive-date=7 December 2008}}</ref>
* 17 July 2014: a [[TER]] train ran into the rear of a TGV [[Denguin rail crash|at Denguin, Pyrénées-Atlantiques]]. Forty people were injured.

Following the number of accidents at level crossings, an effort has been made to remove all level crossings on ''lignes classiques'' used by TGVs. The ''ligne classique'' from [[Tours]] to [[Bordeaux]] at the end of the LGV Atlantique has no level crossings as a result.
