The Stadler flirts are good at what they do, 2 hour run but the differential between a full high speed intercity train is somewhat blurred anyway as shown in this debate. 100mph commuter trains to 110 mph class 90 stock to 125mph class 8xx is all about gearing anyway, you could gear The only true high speed trains are the Eurostars or the javelins in the uk
I would say in britain high speed trains are those passed for 125 mph running. They will also have doors and the end of the coaches separated from passengers by an internal sliding door.
