List of high-speed trains
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) |
The following is a list of high-speed trains that have been, are, or will be in commercial service.
A high-speed train is generally defined as one which operates at speeds of over or at 125 mph (200 km/h), with a high level of service, and often comprising multi-powered elements.
In these tables, two or three maximum speeds are given: the column "Operated" refers to the maximum speed reached by the train in commercial operations, while the column "Design" refers to the theoretical maximum speed in commercial operations as announced by the manufacturer. Finally, a third "Record" speed may also be listed if there is an official speed record accredited by UIC.
High-speed trains currently or soon in service
High-speed trains no longer in service
Experimental
Conventionally wheeled locomotive-hauled
Locomotives are bolded, and hauled trailers written in italics. As trains can have multiple configurations on the same service, service name is used as an identifier.
