No.'Bullet train' is a name coined by the English language media for the Japanese Shinkansen high speed trains.TGV = 'Train à Grande Vitesse' which is French for 'high speed train'. This is the brand name used by SNCF (French Railways) for their high speed trains.Other brand names are used in other countries for their high sped trains; for example AVE in Spain and ICE in Germany.
