How many times is the speed of high-speed rail higher than that of ordinary trains?

The speed of high-speed rail is usually several times that of ordinary railway.

Specifically, the maximum speed of ordinary railway trains is usually between 70- 160 km, while the maximum design speed of high-speed rail can reach 250-350 km. Therefore, the speed of high-speed rail is usually 1.5 to 3 times that of ordinary railway.

The high speed of high-speed rail is achieved by adopting advanced technology and equipment, including optimized track design, electrified power supply system and high-power motor. The high speed of high-speed rail makes the train run at a faster speed, shortens the travel time and improves the traffic efficiency.
