Stations
The LGV Nord serves the following stations:
- Gare du Nord (Paris)
- Gare TGV Haute-Picardie1
- Gare d'Arras²
- Gare de Lille-Europe
- Gare de Calais-Fréthun
1 Haute-Picardie station has been nicknamed "Gare des Betteraves" or "Beetroot Station," since it is located in the middle of nowhere and only accessible by good road connections. Amiens wanted a station closer to the town centre, stopping at Gare d'Amiens.
² Arras station is reached via a branch of the LGV Nord that splits off near the village of Croisilles.
