European High Speed Rail Expands Across The Continent With Five New Truly high speed train travel, once confined to a few isolated corridors in france, italy, and germany, is rapidly expanding across europe. with the opening of five new track segments to operations at more than 250 km h (155 mph) on sunday, the trend continues. the biggest winners will be the residents of italy and the benelux countries. 5 new european train routes.
Map Of Current And Future High Speed Rail In Europe R Highspeedrail The key lies in the infrastructure: a total of 21,000 kilometers of track needs to be built and upgraded across europe. routes designed for high speed rail service would be nearly tripled, from about 11,300 kilometers today (eurostat 2019) to about 32,000 kilometers by 2050. it should be possible to reach speeds of 300 km h on the new network. In short, the study proposes the expansion of the high speed network from 11,300 to 32,000 km in 2050. a total of 21,000 km of track needs to be built and upgraded across europe. thus, the routes designed for high speed rail service would be nearly tripled and will allow trains to reach speeds of 300 km h on the new network. Deutsche bahn (db) has presented a study on the expansion of high speed rail in eur a new study by deutsche bahn calls for a tripling of the high speed rail network in europe by 2050. the study, which was conducted in collaboration with other european rail companies, found that this would give around 60% of europeans direct access to high speed rail and reduce carbon emissions by 1.2 billion. That was the vision outlined by rail industry leaders in lyon, france, on june 29, amid ambitious european plans to double high speed rail use by 2030 and triple current levels by 2050.
