High Speed are long-distance fast train services between major cities and regions. One route crosses the border into Movargovina. High Speed services began on the Cizekporok to Slatnik in 1987. A second line to Jalovec opened in 1994. Services were speed limited in 1996, owing to reduced budgets for track maintenance. A third high speed line under construction, between Uhrov and Zalubie, was opened in 2006. In 2012, the South Coast High Speed railway opened between Komarov and Valaskov, via Slatnik. The dedicated equipment for high speed services are the KHŽ Class 437, KHŽ Class 500 and KHŽ Class 520 trains. KHŽ Class 435s originally operated high speed services until 1990, when they were replaced by 437s.
