France
France's TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse) started service in 1981. It now covers much of the country, including service from Paris to Marseille in the south, Bordeaux in the southwest, Lille in the north, and the German border to the east, on the new TGV Est. The TGV trains were co-developed by Alstom (formerly GEC-Alsthom) and SNCF, the French national railway. They travel at speeds of around 320 kph (200 mph).
Beijing-Shanghai Express
The Shanghai Maglev Train connects the Pudong international airport to the Shanghai subway. The 30km (18-mile) trip takes just over seven minutes. Trains can travel at speeds of up to 430 kph (268 mph). Germany's Siemens and ThyssenKrupp co-developed the technology.
China
China is building a 1,140km high-speed rail between Beijing and Shanghai. China also has the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail, which opened in July 2008.
Eurostar
The Eurostar began service in 1994, whisking passengers from London through the Channel Tunnel (which runs beneath the English Channel) to Paris. Later track improvements cut the travel time between the two cities to just over two hours. Lines also connect London to Brussels, Belgium. The Eurostar trains are modified TGVs and travel at top speeds of 300 kph (186 mph). Some trains feature interiors by renowned designer Philippe Starck.
Italy
Italy was one of the first countries in Europe to invest in a high-speed railway. Trenitalia runs high-speed rail service between Florence and Rome, Rome and Naples, Turin and Milan, and Milan and Bologna, the newest route, which opened last December and cost nearly €7 billion ($8.8 billion). The ETR trains, built by a consortium (Alstom, Ansaldobreda, Bombardier, and Firema Tasporti), are designed to travel at 300 kph (186 mph) but will run at slower speeds until Italy finishes track improvements.
Germany
Germany's InterCityExpress has several high-speed routes, between Frankfurt and Cologne, Berlin and Hanover, and Hanover and Wurzburg. There are also lines connecting Stuttgart with nearby cities. Trains travel at top speeds of around 360 kph (224 mph). Like Japan, Germany has been experimenting with maglev technology, and has a test track in Emsland.
Britain
Eurostar trains connecting England and France now run at full speed between London and the Channel Tunnel, thanks to a track upgrade completed in 2007. Britain plans to launch high-speed commuter trains on the line, known as High Speed 1, in December 2009. More improvements are coming: Japanese tech conglomerate Hitachi has been chosen as the preferred bidder by Britain’s Transport Department to build a new fleet of “super express” trains for 7.5 billion pounds (roughly $10 billion). The new trains will reach speeds of 200 kph (125 mph) and run on both the Great Western line between London and the western coastal cities of Penzance and Cardiff and the East Coast line, which goes as far north as Edinburgh. Hitachi and its partners are expected to supply 1,400 train cars that will be delivered over 5 years starting in 2013. Some will be equipped with a diesel-electric hybrid system.
Spain
Spain’s Alta Velocidad Espanola runs a high-speed rail between Madrid, the southern city of Sevilla and Barcelona in the east. The train made its inaugural journey in 1992 to coincide with the Expo. In the works: lines that connect cities such as Valladolid and Valencia.
Netherlands-Belgium
The Netherlands is laying 125 km (78 miles) of track for its HSL Zuid (High Speed Line South), which will l<x>ink Amsterdam, Schiphol and Rotterdam to a European high-speed line network running into Belgium and France. That will cut travel time from Amsterdam to Paris aboard the high-speed Thalys train, to 3 hours, 13 minutes. It’s expected to open in mid-2009. HSL Zuid trains will reach travel at speeds of up to 300 kph (186 mph).
South Korea
The Korean Train eXpress, or KTX, connects Seoul to Busan and Mokpo. It uses TGV technology developed by France's Alstom but in late 2008 Hyundai Rotem finished the first of its trains, which travel at speeds of up to 300 kph (186 mph).
Taiwan
Taiwan High Speed Rail, or THSR, began service in early 2007, and connects Taipei, the capital, to the southwestern city of Kaohsiung. THSR trains use Japan's Shinkansen technology and were made by a group of Japanese companies led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The trains' top speed is 300 kph (186 mph).
India
India's government is considering building a New Delhi-Mumbai high-speed rail line that supports Japan's Shinkansen trains. Japan is providing $4.5 billion in loans to India to help fund such a project.
Denmark
Germany and Denmark are considering building an 18km (11-mile) connection across the Fehmarn Strait by 2015, at a cost of €9 billion ($11.3 billion). The line would shorten a Hamburg-Copenhagen trip.
Portugal
Portuguese Railways operates tilting trains that run at 220 kph (137 mph) connecting Lisbon and Porto and other cities. Last month, Portugal's government unveiled a €7.8 billion ($9.9 billion) project for a new high-speed rail system that would link Lisbon and Madrid, in Spain. By 2013, trains are expected to reach speeds of 350 kph (217 mph) and shuttle passengers between the two cities in less than three hours.
Norway
Flytoget runs a 60km (37-mile) rail link between Oslo and the airport. Trains travel at speeds of up to 210 kph (130 mph). Norway has plans to upgrade tracks for faster trains, and Jernbaneverket, the Norwegian National Railway Administration, has done feasibility studies on a future high-speed rail system.
