A swap from a flight to a high-speed train now in Europe

Thursday, August 10, 2023

As reported Europe is having high-speed trains that are an increasingly popular alternative way of exploring the continent. It is also recommended that one should take Europe’s fastest, smoothest, and quietest train for their next continental holiday.

Italy alone has seen passenger numbers row by 517 percent – rising from 6.5m in 2008 to 40 million in 2018.

Trenitalia’s Paris to Milan route was first introduced in December 2021, serviced by Hitachi Rail’s ETR1000.
This super high-speed train travels at 300km/h – with the ability to go 400km/h if not limited by track regulations – making it the fastest train in Europe.

The ETR1000 is powered by electricity meaning it also won’t contribute to air pollution. The trains themselves are built from 94.4 percent recyclable materials.
