The High Speed 1 Channel Tunnel Rail Link passes through the Medway Towns area, running parallel to the M2 / A2 Trunk road. The completion of High Speed 1 has seen domestic services operating on the rail link, which includes a stopping service starting at Faversham running to Strood and Gravesend before joining the High Speed line at Ebbsfleet.

Experience with High Speed Trains on the East Coast Main Line from London to Edinburgh had shown that reduced journey times could produce a significant increase in passenger numbers, but that line was largely straight and suited to high speeds.

Taiwan High Speed Rail ( abbreviated THSR or HSR ) is a high-speed rail line that runs approximately along the west coast of the Taiwan, from the national capital of Taipei to the southern city of Kaohsiung.

With construction managed by a private company, Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation ( THSRC ), which also operates the line, the total cost of the project was US $ 18 billion.
