The following is a list of high-speed trains. The high-speed trains are those intended for regular operations at speeds over 200 km/h (125 mph), with high-level of service, and generally constituted of multi-powered elements. Standard hauled trains, often able to reach 200 km/h (like French Corail trains or German IC), are excluded.
