Oh, I see. I guess the additional 100 km derive from the fact that the line is not perfectly straight between Praha-Brno-Wien

But also with 400 km a time below or around 2 hours should be feasible with high speed lines.

I guess that the Pendolino is only able to drive at top speed on certain parts of the track.
