The reason for the cover-up appears to have centered on the fact that the perpetrators were members of a NATO covert paramilitary force tasked with carrying out terrorist attacks on French civilians and politicians in an effort to influence French public and political opinion on the question of Algerian independence, and ensure the continued allegiance of European countries to NATO's ideology of thwarting closer Soviet-European ties. At one point the group, known as the Organisation of the Secret Army (OSA), attempted a coup d'etat against the government of Charles de Gaull
It is possible therefore that the reason French authorities were so quick to discount terrorism as the cause of the TGV crash one day after the Paris terror attacks was to avoid establishing a link, if only circumstantial, between previous home-grown terrorism of the NATO variety, and the current Muslim terror threat. Two threats which, in the final analysis, may be revealed as having the same origin

I will remind you of an incident that happened in France in 1961.

On the same day as the Paris attacks took place another incident occured in which a high speed train derailed there where injuries and fatalities.
Besides those killed, five other people remain unaccounted for
The SNCF said there was nothing at this stage to link the disaster to the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday.

It was the day after
Interesting theory and information you have though, although if it was a planned attack and not an accident why would they hit a test train which has resulted in little media coverage compared to a train full of civilians on their daily commute, surely they would go for maximum impact and coverage ?

Managed to get the text back in the opening post was comparing two seperate train chrashes in france one on the day of the atacks the other in 1961.
The incident in 1961 was carried out by NATO to sway opinion on Algeria it was caused by a bomb on the tracks that was kept secret for twenty years.
The people of paris did not need to remind of that fact and that's why they said the train was not tampered with even though there is evidence to suggest otherwise
