France has high speed rail all the way from the chunnel thru Lille, Paris, Lyons, down to Marsailles..... England will soon have a high speed rail line from the chunnel thru London, all the way north to Edinburg...with another line from London thru Liverpool to Glascow.... this is a considerable distance..... <br /> <br />On top of this there is a high speed rail line north of Lille going to Amsterdam.... France is building a high speed line east of Paris to the Strasbourg area, with Germany improving a line from Frankfurt to Strasbourg.....and from Frankfurt there is a high speed rail line to the Ruhr, and from the Ruhr there is a high speed rail line to Berlin..... <br /> <br />Italy has a high speed rail line north of Rome to Florence, they are extending it to Milan, and in corporation with the French are building a high speed rail line from Turin to the Lyons area thru some very tough mountainous area.... While the line from Turin to Venice is not what I consider high speed rail, the line does support trains up to 100 mph....an improvement to this line thru the Po River valley is on the books..... <br /> <br />While the Europeans started building high speed rail between cities, lately it appears they are connecting the dots.....for long range service..... It won't be long before you can travel in Europe high speed rail from Scotland to Rome, Venice, and Berlin.....
