"The Saverne Tunnel was constructed as part of the second phase of the LGV Est européenne (often shortened to LGV Est)." --> No source
"When completed, the line will connect Paris and Strasbourg—the principal city of the Alsace region and home to several European institutions, including the Council of Europe." --> No source
"The first phase across 300 kilometres (190 mi) of relatively flat land from Vaires-sur-Marne (near Paris) to Baudrecourt (near Metz and Nancy) opened in 2007." --> No source
Shouldn't the second appearance of "Lot 47" be italicized?

"The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard.[4][6] According to RFF, the total cost of the tunnel was approximately €200 million.[5]" --> "The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard,[4][6] and according to RFF, costed approximately €200 million.[5]"
I removed the italics, because it is not a name that should be italicized per MOS:ITALICS. I changed the sentences to "The Saverne Tunnel was built by Spie Batignolles and Dodin Campenon-Bernard,[4][6] at a cost of approximately €200 million.[5]"AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

It is now "Service on the LGV Est line was originally scheduled to begin on 3 April 2016;[19] however, a fatal accident that occurred elsewhere on the new line in November 2015 during commissioning tests has delayed the scheduled opening of the line until 3 July 2016.[2]"AHeneen (talk) 07:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
"It is located within three communes—Eckartswiller, Saint-Jean-Saverne, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne—of the department of Bas-Rhin and is close to the border with the department of Moselle.[18]" --> "It is located within three communes of the department of Bas-Rhin: Eckartswiller, Saint-Jean-Saverne, Ernolsheim-lès-Saverne; it's also close to the border with the department of Moselle.[18]"
Nothing majorly wrong here indeed! Great work and will be on hold for seven days to allow for changes. @PING me here with any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you so much and good luck! Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 02:48, 22 June 2016 (UTC).Reply
@Carbrera: I have been very busy the last two weeks and have not logged into Wikipedia since before you promoted the article to GA, so a late thanks for the review and promotion! AHeneen (talk) 07:22, 26 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
