- In Great Britain, there are inter-city trains to numerous parts of the country. Most of these trains are high speed, and some operate into France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Before the sectorisation of British Rail, inter-city trains were operated by InterCity. InterCity ran trains from London to South West England, Wales, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, North East England, Scotland and East of England.
