National train services in France are provided by Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF). The SNCF operates all TGV High Speed services and some parts of the RER Express Network in Paris and its suburbs. The TGV was one of the world's first high speed trains to be built, and also one of the first to have its own dedicated rights-of-way. Both the TGV train model and operation model have been used by other countries around the world.
