Mâcon-Loché TGV opened on 27 September 1981, along with the first TGV line, the LGV Sud-Est. On 14 September 1992, the first high-speed accident in TGV history occurred at the station when Train 56 derailed while running at 270 km/h (167 mph).[3] Nobody was killed, but some people waiting for another TGV on the platform were injured by ballast kicked up from the trackbed by the train.
