We don't need that seriously. We need railroad maintenance, more trains and more drivers.

Even outside of major airports, luggage space is a pain for TGV

Indeed, I noticed this problem with German ICE trains as well.

The term German ICE trains just have a jarring sound to me...

Even the FEX im Berlin lacks space for luggage and it's a train service explicitly created for the new airport.

They were the first movers with modern tracks, and now those older tracks hold them back. The TGV itself can go much faster in theory.

Too expensive to rebuild half the tracks to allow higher speeds.
