Before you land
The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Status
Only three direct Nantes-Bordeaux round trips run daily, and the direct journey time is stuck above four hours because of the line's winding routing and a 110-130 km/h speed limit depending on the section — this is not a corridor where a faster option is being overlooked, it is genuinely this slow.

Easy to get wrong
The line is only electrified as far as La Roche-sur-Yon; the remaining stretch to Bordeaux is diesel-worked, so the whole through service runs on diesel traction rather than switching to electric partway, unlike most other corridors in this dataset.
