==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),<ref name="uic.org">[http://www.uic.org/spip.php?article573 High speed lines in the world - UIC - International Union of Railways]</ref> it has been updated with other sources.
* countries that plan high speed.<!-- If they have an article in Wikipedia -->
