A map of Europe and surrounding regions illustrating the high-speed rail network, with coloured lines indicating different operating speeds and dashed green lines showing routes under construction or being upgraded. The densest high-speed networks are concentrated in Western Europe, particularly in France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, while extensive conventional rail lines, marked in grey, cover the rest of the continent into Russia and Turkey. A key in the top-left corner defines the speed categories, ranging from yellow for 200 to 230 kilometres per hour up to purple for 310 to 320 kilometres per hour, highlighting major transport corridors connecting cities such as London, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin.

This #map shows Europe’s high-speed rail divide. #France and #Spain lead with 310 km/h+ (193 mph) lines, while the UK’s #HS2 project aims to link #London to the West Midlands.
In Eastern #Europe, Rail #Baltica is vital to bridge the gap between the #Baltics and the continent.
