Once it's on the High Speed track it's cleared for 175mph but it is capable of up to 200 mph. This latter speed though, is reserved for the Eurostar, London to Paris service.

Interesting note, the train in the picture is actually designed in the UK and built by Hitachi in Japan.


French trains doing 200 Mph. Whats that in new money ?
