La grande vitesse ferroviaire reste un système de transport guidé au sol : on pourrait la considérer comme un sous-système ferroviaire. Le changement le plus important vient de la vitesse. [...] Le train à grande vitesse va de pair avec un saut de vitesse commerciale et c'est pourquoi l'UIC [Union internationale des chemins de fer] considère la vitesse commerciale de 250 km/h comme le critère principal pour la définition de la grande vitesse ferroviaire. 3, record 1, French, - grande%20vitesse%20ferroviaire
