Large portions of this page are uncited. There are also parts that are poorly written. Steelkamp (talk) 07:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Agree with nom. I would also add: ref's need to be in main article, not the lead section (MOS:LEAD); the "In operation" and "Current efforts" sections are unclear as to what the distinction is there; the significant focus on China in the "current operations" section could form a separate article (e.g., High-speed rail in Australia).

Specific problems are as follows: Steelkamp (talk) 07:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC) There has been no improvement to this article in the last month. I suggest to any uninvolved users passing by that you close this GAR as delist. Steelkamp (talk) 05:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * alternatives to larger efforts to create or expand the high-speed rail networks.
 * Lead should be longer.
 * Though the definition of higher-speed rail varies from country to country, most countries refer to rail services operating at speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph). Should not be in its own paragraph
 * but usually falling short on the intended speeds. Why the "usually". Surely if it fulfilled intended speeds, then it would become true high speed rail.
 * the speed range for India's higher-speed rail will be between 160 and 200 km/h (100 and 125 mph). What's with the "will be"?
 * A table in the middle of a list?
 * In Canada, the assumption about grade crossing is that operating higher-speed rail services between 160 and 200 km/h (99 and 124 mph) would require "improved levels of protection in acceptable areas". This is a nebulous statement.
 * In developing higher-speed rail services, one of those safety systems must be used. This seems to be original research.
 * which regulates the speed limits of trains with Class 5, Class 6, Class 7 and Class 8 Is this grammatically correct?
 * In the United States, railroad tracks are largely used for freight with at-grade crossings. Is that meant to link to level crossing rather than At-grade intersection?
 * This has definitely suffered from years of cruft accumulation with insufficient maintenance of the page. Will have a more thorough look this weekend but I think this will require major work to be maintained at GA status. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
