BG can support HSR speed, there are no issues. The only reason MAHSR is SG is because Japanese OEMs won't manufacture BG trains. For example, Spain runs HSR on Iberian gauge (1668 mm) which is similar to BG (1676 mm).I was thinking whether it was possible to achieve 180 kmph speed of rrts on regular 5'6 broad gauge.
RRTS is good but it uses smaller gauge and we are ending up using three different gauge throughout the country. A RRTS arrangement on regular gauge would do wonders for our railway.
I am talking about fully ripping out the old tracks and use Concrete ballast base on busy routes.

This will serve two purpose 1)Facilitate high speed passenger trains 2)Facilitate Express train on the same track.
