'''TER-GV''', a portmanteau of [TER](/source/TER) (Train Express Régional, "express regional train") and [TGV](/source/TGV) (Train à Grande Vitesse, "high-speed train"), are regional TGV linking relatively nearby cities (termini being 100–200 km apart) using the [LGV Nord](/source/LGV_Nord) dedicated high-speed line (Paris-Lille-Calais). So far, those trains only operate in the [Hauts-de-France](/source/Hauts-de-France) region.

In 2001, the first three lines were opened:

* [Lille-Europe](/source/Lille-Europe)–[Dunkerque](/source/Dunkerque) (30 min): The first half of the journey is made on the [LGV Nord](/source/LGV_Nord) until a junction near [Hazebrouck](/source/Hazebrouck) after which the train continues at lower speed on the conventional line to Dunkerque.
* Lille-Europe–[Calais-Fréthun](/source/Calais-Fr%C3%A9thun) (30 min) – [Calais-Ville](/source/Calais-Ville) (35 min): At the northern end of the [LGV Nord](/source/LGV_Nord) in Calais-Fréthun, the train continues toward the Calais-Ville station. Very few trains run on that line.
* Lille-Europe–Calais-Fréthun (30 min) – [Boulogne-Ville](/source/Gare_de_Boulogne-Ville) (55 min) – [Étaples-Le Touquet](/source/Gare_d'%C3%89taples-Le_Touquet) – Gare de Rang-du-Fliers: Until 2010, the line ended in [Boulogne](/source/Boulogne).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/Locales/Montreuil/actualite/Secteur_Montreuil/2010/12/11/article_l-arrivee-du-ter-gv-a-sorti-etaples-et-r.shtml |title= L'arrivée du TER-GV a sorti Étaples et Rang-du-Fliers de leur train-train |author= Élise Chiari |date= 2010-12-11 |work= |publisher= La Voix du Nord | accessdate=2011-06-03}}</ref> This line now runs until [Rang-du-Fliers-Verton](/source/Gare_de_Rang-du-Fliers). At the northern end of the [LGV Nord](/source/LGV_Nord) in Calais-Fréthun, the train continues on the conventional line at lower speed toward Boulogne, [Étaples](/source/%C3%89taples) and Rang. Passengers going to [Calais-Ville](/source/Calais-Ville) can also use that line, a shuttle service from Calais-Fréthun to Calais-Ville using regular [TER](/source/TER) trains or buses being available within 30 minutes of the departure/arrival of each train. Some of the trains do not go as far as Rang on the line, but rather have their terminus in Boulogne or Étaples.

A fourth line, Lille-Europe–[Arras](/source/Arras), was added in 2007. The success of this line led to subsequent capacity increases.
