idc. german trains are always delayed so even though the trains are faster you still end up waiting at the train station.
Morocco has trains faster than US!
I can’t see the recently inaguruated Berlin-Frankfurt-Paris high speed line. I think the first trains have started in February
– Europe: **9,600 km** of rail lines at 240 km/h or more
– United States: **60-70 km** of rail lines at 240 km/h or more
But don’t worry hyperloop is coming lol
What happened to other half of Europe?
There should at least be high speed in the northeast sector incorporating Boston, CT’s coastal cities, NY, and down the beltway to DC, Philly, and Baltimore. As well as up and down the west coast.
I think some EU lines are missing, isnt there a connection from Barcelona to France?
American freight shifts come to mind that are kilometres long
USA 3rd world country
Well, the two tracks in Austria might potentially allow speed over 250, yet I have never seen more than 235.
Which is still very cool.
They should totally make a connection under the Pyrenees.
Lisbon needs some love. I want a Port-to-Lisbon line and a Lisbon-to-Madrid line
Why is not Madrid connected with Lisbon?
This is missing a lot of the Italian network.
In the late 80’s there was an idea of making another network over here to connect the main cities.
They are taking their time.
When interstate tho?
Now do China vs Europe.
This is not a win for the EU. It is just a shitshow for the US.
The map still shows how deeply single-country-centric the high speed lines in Europe are (but also trains in general), you cannot cross even a single border on high speed rail. We need to do be better.
Meanwhile HS2 🥴
This feels bad as someone from /r/Austria, we’re basically as bad the USA.
I thought the trains only slow down from Tirol to Vorarlberg?
I can see there are a line between Denmark and Sweden.
Uhm, there are no trains between there that drives 250 km/h. Fastest train is the EuroCity train between Copenhagen and Hamburg with 200 km/h.
Germany’s ICE tracks not being connected at highspeed unlike France and Spain is such a shame
Thank you US Automotive lobby 🙄
Now do China.
Pfft. Both are **weak**. You want to see high speed rail? Look at China’s.
By the end of this year, China will have **50,000km** of high speed rail, some up to 380kmh. Over double that of Europe, and all built in the last couple decades.
The U.S. is a lost cause, and Europe is stuck in time patting itself on its back while China is barreling ahead.
Now comapare those to Taiwan, China, and Japan.
Why is this map drawn as if an iron curtain is still existing?
Thank god Romania is out of that map 😂
Europe and the U.S. is no different. ULCC carriers of RyanAir, Wizz, Baltic, Pegasus (Europe) and Frontier, Spirit, Avalon (US) have made air travel the cheap and fast standard mode of travel.
You get stuck on German rail then comment if you should have flown instead.
And in Brazil there is nothing.
In about 2210 the UK should also have HS2 from London to just outside London.
When it comes to the high speed trains, Europe should aim to compete with China not a car centric country like the US.
It’s far from ideal.
Europe should have a much more extensive high-speed rail network. Instead, we will spend billions arming ourselves for an unlikely war against Russia (a country with a rather mediocre army that hasn’t even been able to win a war against Ukraine) and help U.S. and Israeli arms companies.
Damn politicians.
We should crack on. We’re not far off having every dot on that (Europe) map connected.
nice nice, but what about literally every other type of rail?
Now show china and japan and we see how much europe can do better
Meanwhile China with >20000km of high speed rail 😭
Looks like we’re going to get this train soon over in the Northeast Megalopolis [Avelia Liberty – Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avelia_Liberty). Honestly I’d be fine with BosWash (and probably some of the surrounding areas like MD eastern shore and Richmond + Hampton Roads in VA) seceding if we were able too. We’d still have some crazies of course but at least they wouldn’t be 50% of the population.
wait until DOGE finishes the job on amtrac, then the two lines will disappear too.
