The following is a list of high-speed trains that have been, are, or will be in commercial service.
A
high-speed train
High-speed rail (HSR) is a type of rail system that runs significantly faster than traditional rail, using an integrated system of specialised rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, lines ...
is generally defined as one which operates at or over in regular passenger service, 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 independently verified speed record.
Trains with power cars and multiple units
High-speed trains currently or soon in service
High-speed trains no longer in service
Experimental or modified
Conventionally wheeled locomotive-hauled
As trains can have multiple configurations on the same service, service name is used as an identifier.
