SWITZERLAND 
SBB has committed itself to a long-term vision of rail travel in Switzerland, entailing major efficiency improvements over the system as operated in the final years of the 20th century. This includes half-hourly services in each direction on all significant routes
ICNThe top speed is set to rise from 180km/h to 220km/h
French TGV and German ICE lines extend into Switzerland, but given the dense rail traffic and the short distances between Swiss cities they currently do not attain speeds higher than 160 km/h there
AlpTransit project will help the trains to reach to 250 km/h

TURKEY 
Turkey has started building high-speed rail lines in 2003. The first line, from İstanbul (Turkey's largest city) via Eskişehir to Ankara (capital of Turkey), is under construction and will open in 2007 reducing the traveling time from 6–7 hours to 3 hours 10 minutes. The Ankara - Konya line began construction in 2006. A travel time of 70 minutes is foreseen for this track. Several other lines between major cities such as Ankara - Afyon - Uşak - İzmir, Ankara - Yozgat - Sivas, İstanbul - Bursa, İstanbul - Kapıkule (Bulgarian border) are planned to be built in coming years

Sweden today runs many trains at 200 km/h, including the X2 tilting trains, widebody and double-decker regional trains, and the Arlanda Airport Express X3. The X2 runs between main cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and the Arlanda Express trains run between Stockholm and Arlanda airport. Hundreds of kilometres of track are ready for 250 km/h operation, with the exception of the signalling system, catenary, and the trains. A test train, called "the Green Train" is being tested at 280 km/h. Around year 2015 a 180 km long part of the railway Stockholm-Malmö will run at 250 km/h speed. The Bothnia Railway, Botniabanan, under construction, will allow 250 km/h. [6]. The average speed of Botniabanan will be limited since it will be single track

X2000 trains feature an aerodynamic bullet nose
RUSSIA
Track between Saint Petersburg and Moscow is being updated to allow German
ICEs, bought by Russia, to reach 250 km/h (150 mph) by 2008.
AUSTRIA 
The Austrian Western Railway is being upgraded and partially rebuilt, and will in future allow the German ICE trains currently running on the line to break the 200 km/h barrier.
