Some may be. I don't know one way or the other. But there is the whole low/medium speed network, too. I used to see the TGV a lot when I lived in Lausanne, since there's a nice bike route that sort of weaves around the railway track north to Vallorbe, where it goes through a tunnel into France, and it runs on the same track as the regular traffic.
