Train nerds and Wikipedians of the fediverse, I need your help. (Apologies for blatant nerd sniping).
The Wikipedia page for LGV Sud-Est (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGV_Sud-Est) has the following claim:
"The line has a surface area of 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi) – in comparison Charles de Gaulle Airport occupies 32 km2 (12 sq mi) – with an average width of 40 m (130 ft)"
But then it has.
[Citation needed].
My dearest train nerds, #BahnBubble, can help you find a source for this claim so we can fix this citation?
