Vietnam's national railway company, Vietnam Railways, has proposed a 1,630-kilometre (1,013 mi) high-speed rail link between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City capable of running at 250 to 300 km/h (155 to 186 mph). [231]
Vietnam Railways also planned a 1,630 km (1,013 mi) high-speed standard gauge [5] link from its capital Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, capable of running at 250 to 300 km/h (155 to 186 mph). It was planned to have an initial travel time of 9 hours and to make a series of improvements over time to eventually reduce the time ...
