As airseb has said It looks like they will continue - the trigger for cutting routes is if the journey can be done in under two and a half hours by rail and ATM you can't do Toulouse - Paris in under two and a half hours by train (there are plenty wishing you could).

For reasons of topography/geography Toulouse has ended up in a bit of a gap in the actual high speed bit of the French TGV network....the best you can usually do, I think, is around four or four and a half hours..

If the SNCF service is anything like the DB I feel sorry for the passengers.
Not done long distance SNCF that much but the local rail network around Toulouse and the south west, ( used to be the RER, now TER Occitaine) which I often used for part of my journey to work, was pretty darned good and had really good punctuality..as long as there isn't a strike..
