ROLLING STOCK AND VERY HIGH SPEEDS

Existing networks would seem to be limited to 200 km/h, achieving overall averages of 145/150 km/h, while body-tilting can appreciably cut journey times of services now restricted to 120/130 km/h maxima. At very high speeds the author considers such techniques of questionable value. Braking of 200/300 km/h trains are considered in three groups.
