List of high-speed railway lines

This article provides a list of operational and under construction high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region. The International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks.[1][2]

Overview

Operational networks

The following table is an overview of high-speed rail in service or under construction by country, ranked by the amount in service. It shows all the high speed lines (speed of 200 km/h (125 mph) or over) in service. The list is based on UIC figures (International Union of Railways),[3][4] updated with other sources.[5]

Notes

  1. ^ Population data based is on worldometers.info, as of July 2024
  2. ^ Between 2011 and 2017 the speed limit has been decreased from 350 to 300 km/h (220 to 190 mph) on all tracks and lines.
  3. ^ Tōhoku Shinkansen to be increased to 360 km/h in around 2027; unconventional lines under construction are expected to be faster.
