Is that a joke? Not every train stops at every station. And an advantage of high speed trains is they can accelerate very quickly.

- bobthepanda 5y agoThey accelerate reasonably quickly, but doing so any faster uses more energy and also starts impacting passenger comfort. People would like to have a cup of coffee on the table without hot liquid sloshing out onto their laps.
- machello13 5y agoThey absolutely can. They're obviously limited by passenger comfort as the other commenter said, but the difference between an Acela and a Northeast Regional in acceleration speed is obvious.
