Well, how else can you name a composition that in just over 200 minutes makes one from one country to another?

By the way, to achieve such high speeds, "Allegro" allows carefully thought-out technology of tilting the body to 8 degrees during the composition of curved sections. Thanks to this slope, it can reduce speed and neutralize the effect of centrifugal force.

A total of 337 passenger seats are planned on the train, all of them - enhanced comfort.
