High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph).
Typically, high-speed trains travel at top service speeds of between 250 km/h and 300 km/h (150 mph and 185 mph). The world speed record for a conventional wheeled train was set in 1990 by a French TGV that reached a speed of 515.3 km/h (320.2 mph), and an experimental Japanese magnetic levitation train (maglev) JR-Maglev MLX01 has reached 581 km/h (361 mph).

The TGV is fast, around 100 mph, but I think the Japanese bullet train is faster.

About Maglevs: they are not "trains", is an expensive white elephant without enconomic justification, please notice that you must reach the city center by metro in Shangai...
