• Resumen

  • The original goal of high-speed rail (HSR) was to link large metropolitan regions 400�600 km apart. Recently, however, intermediate �ex-metropolitan� HSR stations have also been created in suburban areas/cities within metropolitan regions (up to 100 km from the metropolitan centre). This study takes a close look at nine such �ex-metropolitan� stations around Madrid (Guadalajara, Segovia, and Toledo), London (Stratford, Ebbsfleet, and Ashford), and Paris (Charles-de-Gaulle, Marne-la-Vallée � Chessy, and Massy), to understand their territorial and local impacts and draw possible lessons for the California High Speed Rail project.
