What's the difference between a train and a high-speed rail?

High-speed trains are faster than ordinary trains. The speed of ordinary trains is below 200KM/h, while the speed of high-speed trains is above 300KM/ h, so the speed of high-speed trains is much faster than that of ordinary trains, which also saves more time for people to travel.

2. Code differences

Common train codes are: G, D, Z, C, K, T, where G stands for high-speed train, which is what we often call "high-speed train". D stands for bullet train, with a speed of 200KM-250KM per hour, ranking second. Z stands for through train, with few or no intermediate stops. C stands for intercity train, which runs between several cities.

K stands for ordinary express, which is what we often call the "ordinary train". T stands for express train. So in terms of code, they are different.

brief introduction

High-speed railway is a railway system with high design standard and fast train running speed. The first official high-speed railway system in the world is the Tokaido Shinkansen, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1964. It connects Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, and promotes the rapid development of Japan. Its design speed is 200 km/h, so the initial speed standard of high-speed railway is 200 km/h.

Later, with the development of technology, the train speed is faster. Different countries have different definitions of high-speed railway in different periods, and according to their own conditions, they have stipulated their own detailed technical standards for high-speed railway grades, involving different train speeds and railway types.
