Image:High Speed Railroad Map Europe 2008.gif

Explanatory notes

As there are sometimes discussions about that map I try to explain some points:

• This is a map of the tracks in operation
• The maximum velocity is not the design velocity, it is the currently allowed speed
• The map should represent the track in the specific year. There will be other maps for every year. Later it will then be possible to reconstruct the development.

Discussion

Hi. In that map is atleast one error: In Finland is not any road where you could drive faster than 120 km/h. --QWerk 19:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. But this is not a road map - it is a rail map! I know there are some faults in it but this is none. --Bernese media 19:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello, to be more constructive:

• Great Britain has a fair amount of 125mph running (201km/h in metric currency) on the lines to Edinburgh and Glasgow, called ECML and WCML, respectively.
• Karlsruhe, towards Mannheim, I think it is 200km/h.
• Spain, the broad gauge Barcelona-Valencia line, maybe I missed something, but I think the line has been upgraded to 220km/h (only).
• Turkey is about to have high speed railway.
• There is a line between Copenhagen and Malmo.
• Last but not least - why not upload that map in svg?

Nice work, very much appreciated. -- Klaus with K 11:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution. In the german wiki article "Schnellfahrstrecke" is a long discussion running to improve the map. There are some experts for various countries helping. We know that some parts of ECML and WCML are operated with 125mph. But so far no one was able to give exact data on this matter. If you could help please join the discussion. Thanks!--Bernese media 17:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

• Following the above comments about GB, The London-Bristol, London-Birmingham, and London-Leeds-Glasgow lines are all 125mph (201.16km/hr), and hence should be yellow. Also, the line from from Biringham to Liverpool should run to Manchester instead. Otherwise, thanks for a great and extremely useful map. I would join in on the German discussion, except I cannot speak German. Tompw (talk) (en) 20:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Great map ! Map with same subject also existed on skyscrapercity.com forum, here is its current state. --Jklamo (talk) 13:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you both for your comments. That map is really good. I never found such a map and therefore I made my own. Think (and hope) mine gives a better overview - but there are some fault I will correct.

Thanks again! --Bernese media (talk) 17:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

--Italy and Russia have upgraded networks in Dec 2008! Bologna-Milan and Moscow-St.Petersburg are now 250 km/h. Ankara-Eskisehir is ready to open 2009. Nice if you could update. Thanks. 124.120.20.137 17:33, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

--Bologna-Milan is being quoted as up to 300km/h, with a 240km/h dip in Novara. -- Klaus with K (talk) 17:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Some comments: Milano-Bologna is fixed, but Milano-Novara will not open until Dez 2009 (same as Bologna-Firenze). The Russen track is now operated with 200 km/h and not more (yet).
