This article provides a list of operating [[high-speed rail]] networks, listed by country. High-speed rail is [[public transport]] by [[rail transport|rail]] at speeds of at least 200&nbsp;km/h (125&nbsp;mph) for updated track and {{convert|250|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} or faster for new track.<!-- According to EU principles, and the [[High-speed rail]] article--><ref>[http://www.uic.org/spip.php?article971 General definitions of highspeed.] ''uic.asso.fr/'' November 28, 2006.

==Overview==
The following table gives an overview of high speed rail by country.

It shows
* all high speed dedicated lines (speed of 200&nbsp;km/h or over) in service and under construction, listed by country.

See also: Planned high-speed rail in countries without existing high-speed rail lines

This article provides a list of operating high-speed rail networks, listed by country. High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (125 mph) for updated track and 250 km/h (160 mph) or faster for new track.[1][2] The article also includes any planned expansion of existing high-speed rail networks in countries that already have one.

Overview

The following table gives an overview of high speed rail by country.

It shows

  • all high speed dedicated lines (speed of 200 km/h or over) in service and under construction, listed by country. Based on UIC figures (International Union of Railways),[3] it has been updated with other sources.
  • countries that plan high speed.
