There has been quite a discussion under u/HighburyAndIslington’s post about the speeds on various high-speed routes in Europe. So I thought it would be interesting to share this chart from the [2023 UIC Atlas](https://uic.org/passenger/highspeed/article/high-speed-data-and-atlas) (published on 12 January 2024).
The UIC Atlas also has a lot of other interesting information about HSR around the world, so I recommend checking it out
Nice to see that Europe ends at Berlin and doesnt go any further east.
So much of the increases are found in France, Spain and some in Italy. Meanwhile in Germany not much changes and the fastest lines are still slower than some French lines from the 90s.
I don’t care how fast they are, if they would be on time.
I do Zurich-Milan in three hours, something must be wrong
Deutsche bahn sucks for real. There’s no hope.
Traveled from Straßbourg to Paris two weeks ago and it was the most comfortable and fastest journey or my life
I feel some route are missing in France like Paris – Lille, it would get a real idea of the speed of the LGV Nord. This absence of this route is weird especially when I see some route Like Bruxelles – Lille, London -Lille in this ranking.
No, Paris -Rennes as well.
I think Milan Bologna is the fastest line in Italy, should be over 200km/h
For me, the Spanish trains are the best for speed and punctuality. French come in close second.
Czech ones are the best price-wise.
Where is Lisbon-Porto ?
What also drags down the speed of German trains in such comparison is that they have far more stops in between.
While most of TGVs, Eurostar’s don’t stop in between or maybe just once or twice, The ICE and IC routes from that statistic have 5 to 12 stops in between. For example, if you take the continuous ICE from Frankfurt to Berlin which is around 420km you have 8 stops in between.
