High-speed rail (HSR) will connect not only cities, states and countries in the future, but also far-reaching continents. In about 15 to 20 years from now, one could travel seamlessly from London, UK to Beijing,
China and even have a detour within the Gulf countries using the global high-speed rail network.
What is defined as high-speed rail in the US (speeds of 120 kilometers per hour) is considered figuratively similar to the speed of a bull-drawn cart in 19th century China.
next-generation rolling stock and signal upgrades are expected to raise high-speed rail services in the excess of 320 kilometers per hour.
For example, phase 2 of the Haramain High-speed rail Project in Saudi arabia (450 kilometers connecting Mecca and Medina) was awarded to a Saudi-Spanish consortium.
