> Brightline's maximum operating speed is 125 mph (200 km/h)

I mean, you could call it high speed rail, I suppose, but it's not really the same sort of thing.



Average speed is 68 mph


Oof. Dublin to Cork is 66mph average, and that one's considered kind of embarrassing, and is currently being upgraded to ~85mph average. (There's separately a proposal to build a real high speed line, but it seems unlikely to happen; it'd have to be a whole new line.)
