Top 10 Fastest High Speed Trains in Europe

This video presents a guide of the fastest trains in Europe.

High-speed rail 🚅 in Europe is emerging as an increasingly popular and efficient means of transport. A massive competition between countries has developed with the clear goal of creating the fastest train in Europe continent. The first high-speed rail lines in Europe were built in the 1980's and 1990's. Since then, several countries have built extensive high-speed networks 🚊, and there are now several cross-border high-speed rail links. Railway operators frequently run international services, and tracks are continuously being built and upgraded 🛠 to international standards on the emerging European high-speed rail network.
Surprisingly, one of the main European power, United Kingdom has still a very outdated network and remains behind their European mainland competitors. They have now started to invest 💰 in major projects which will bring them back into the high speed railway elite.

This ranking exclusively compares trains meeting the official high-speed criteria and has been done using the design top speed, ignoring occasional testing records or speed limitations of various European countries.

Thank you!

As a guy in North America your high speed trains are awesome.

[mitzy]

It's not a competition! why are people so damn angry in the comments?! haha. Just be thankful that we have such great forms of transport in europe. I've travelled parts of the US and their train/bus system is centuries behind.

USA trains: " "
EU trains: " *Swosh-swosh-swosh-Swosh!* "

[eey-bee]

Renfe is really knocking it out the park with their high speed trains (and ever expanding network). Plus from my personal experience (of Alvia at least) the boarding system as well as the ride itself was really nice. Really decent price too!

[bibekanandahansda]

3:07 I really liked the "woob woob" effect!

If I remember correctly the ITALO AGV had a cinema onboard, or something crazy like that.

Nice images, but you're mixing up train companies and models, and some facts are incorrect as far as I know.

-Thalys and SCNF TGV aren't trains, they're companies with several train types running at different speeds. Thalys trains are actually adapted TGV trains (Thalys PBA model is the equivalent of TGV Atlantique, and Thalys PBKA is an adaption of TGV Duplex).
-SNCF TGV trains also extend to Swizterland, Italy, Belgium and Spain.
-DB ICE also extends to Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands.
-Oaris was just one prototype train that has never done any passenger services for Renfe in Spain, but it will be soon operating for Flytoget in Norway.
-Eurostar E320, DB ICE3 and Renfe Velaro E are just variants of the same Siemens Velaro model. However, some of the trains shown under "Eurostar E320" are actually older E300 trains.

The DB ICE 3 also runs in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria

So basically Europe leads Train industry. Nice, India planning to buy Spanish Talgo soon

[khwistal]

I wish throughout the EU we would have one gigantic innternational train operator. It would make things a lot easier

[puikepuck]

4:42 a German flag, indicating the ICE only runs in Germany
4:45 an ICE at Arnhem Central (in the Netherlands) leaving for Amsterdam Central (also in the Netherlands)

[fjrogon]

Talgo 350. Los españoles lo conocemos como "pato"....😜(duck). Gran tren.👍

[doriancroatia]

That feeling when you're Croatian and even Amtrak seems like a high speed railway.

[patro]

Well, the the new Frecciarossa 1000 (releasead in June 2020) is doing from Paris to Milan in 6 hours

[sampro_]

7:49 that wistle sounded so funny while the train was moving

[lemagnifique]

Europe : *bullet trains*
East Asia : *bullet trains*
North America : *has left the chat*

During the eighties I had an american co-worker who came to France to be trained on my job. He said to me he wished to have a ride in the french high speed train "TGV", I gave him the indications so he coud do so during the week-end. The next monday he came back enthousiastic about the travel, and he said it's an engineering masterpiece, I wish we could have the same in the US, but it's not likely to happen...
And indeed, it has not happened yet !

[frcpd]

The problem in Italy aren't Frecciarossa and italo, the problem is the delay in regional trains.

[Slvrfsh]

Thx for include my country trains
I'm Spanish
