RRX? The double deck EMUs I'm aware of go up to 200 km/h, though maybe some designs could be pushed to 220 km/h. In some way yes, touché, although that's still not quite the same league as the class of 250 - 320+ km/h trains.
Another counterexample might be the Giruno (250 km/h), but that in turn needs to compromise on its door location (only a single door per coach, and placed centrally in the middle of the coach).
> long-distance platforms didn't have a height of 960mm already
They don't. 960 mm is only used in various S-Bahn systems and not compatible with the structure gauge of the general railway network.
