#HighSpeedTrains have (nearly) killed #sleeperTrains in western Europe (and they are also detrimental to train services between medium sized cities).
Not just because of a competition but because they appeal so much more to decision makers who want a shiny record. -

"successive studies have determined that high-speed rail is the only mode of transport that is cost positive when accounting for all externalities — that is, all of the up-front and hidden costs associated with a given mode of transport."

The U.S. has trains that can go 155 MPH.
The U.S. has a rail network twice the size of Europe.
The problem is that those tracks are owned by the very profitable freight train industry and not suitable for high speed passenger trains.

This *seems* like a great idea, but...will it be safe to operate during times of excessive heat? Our local (slow) rail service has issues so I'd assume the problems would be magnified w/a fast-moving train? #highspeedtrains #Texas https://www.cntraveler.com/story/amtrak-exploring-us-high-speed-train-texas

@jamesjm I'm not aware of any.
As far as I know, it wouldn't be easy. First, finding a route that runs for 10 hours at 300km, it has to be a point-to-point route between two very big cities.
Then, rolling stock for sleeper trains is made to combine cars: 2 cars seating, 3 couchettes, 3 beds, changing when needed, whereas high speed trains are fixed compositions.
That's my understanding, other people probably know more

Who knows if the high-speed rail link will ever become reality.
"JOHOR BARU, May 11 — Reviving the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project as a privately-funded initiative was discussed during a bilateral meeting of Malaysia and the republic’s transport ministers today."
