Travel speeds up to 350kms per hour. Specialised rolling stock and dedicated tracks. Large turning circles are intergrated into the design on standard guage rail.
“Metro and Light Rail Systems”
Category I – New tracks specially constructed for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 250 km/h
.Category II – Existing tracks specially upgraded for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 200 km/h.
Category III – Existing tracks specially upgraded for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 200 km/h, but with some sections having a lower allowable speed (for example due to topographic constraints, or passage through urban areas).
