Abstract The purpose of this report is to show the importance and the diversity of the levels on which the introduction of a high speed train service may affect the organization of regional transport services. To do this, two main sources have been used. First, the experience acquired by the regions served or influenced by the South‐East high speed train and, second, the prospective reflections of some regions concerned by present plans for future servicing by high speed trains. In both cases, regional diagnoses or forecasts were conveyed to us by the Regional Amenities Offices within the framework of a discussion group led by the Department of Economic Analysis and of the Plan. It is appropriate here to thank them very much for these contributions, without which the present synthesis would not have been possible.
