ligne grande vitesse/high speed rail Explanation: have not idea really BUT the Train a grande vitesse has to run on a ligne de grande vitesse which I suppose must have a crane and assorted machinery specifically for it.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2004-04-01 17:54:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, the SNCF abbreviations give both: and the second is: vLPV Limitation Permanente de Vitesse and I don\'t know if that refers to rails for lower speed trains or not you can google the SNCF lexique |

hsl motor, lsl motor Explanation: Given your contect, I would imagine that lgv = levage grande vitesse and lpv = levage petite vitesse. I've given a literal equivalent above, but I don't think hsl and lsl are at all 'standard' as abbreviations in English. |
