Posted by WillD on Sat Jun 15 13:36:39 2019, in response to Re: CBC news, new Acela trains, first look, posted by Joe V on Sat Jun 15 04:18:59 2019. The Channel Tunnel trains operated at 100mph. IINM my trip out of Waterloo way back in 2007 never topped 90mph until we reached HS1.When we say high speed rail it should be implicit that we're talking about operation well above 100mph. 125 or better is a good place to start, but really it should be operation at 186 to 200mph, with average speeds approaching 150mph to be truly competitive. That is the regime in which I am less than enthusiastic about the prospect of running a high speed train on 3rd rail. |
