The following is a list of high-speed trains that have been, are, or will be in commercial service.. A high-speed train is generally defined as one which operates at or over 125 mph (200 km/h) in regular passenger service, with a high level of service, and often comprising multi-powered elements.
The "fastest" train commercial service can be defined alternatively by a train's top speed or average trip speed. The fastest train service measured by peak operational speed was the Shanghai maglev train which can reach 431 km/h (268 mph). The maximum speed was limited to 300 km/h in 2021. Due to the limited length of the Shanghai Maglev track ...
China recently unveiled a new bullet train prototype with a test speed of 280 mph that is poised to break records and set new standards. China unveils the world’s fastest high-speed train with a ...
In Japan, there is a so-called "4-hour wall" in high-speed rail's market share: If the high-speed rail journey time exceeds 4 hours, then people likely choose planes over high-speed rail. For instance, from Tokyo to Osaka, a 2h22m-journey by Shinkansen, high-speed rail has an 85% market share whereas planes have 15%.
