The TGV La Poste were dedicated trainsets for high-speed freight and mail transportation by French railway company SNCF on behalf of the French postal carrier La Poste.

The top speed of this TGV Sud-Est derivate was 270 km/h (168 mph), making them the fastest freight trains in the world.

[citation needed] In 2009, La Poste reduced services from 8 to 6 daily round trips.

[2] On 21 March 2012 a demonstration freight train ran to London-St Pancras,[3] but there was no follow-up.

[1][4] Additionally, the demand for fast overnight mail services has been decreasing in recent years.
