Not too sure, I quite like the Taiwan HSR trains.

I like the idea of 16 coach trains, instead of 8 car trains in pairs. With a configuration like:

Coaches A-F First class
Coaches G-L Standard (one coach reserved for family compartments)
Coaches M-P Budget

I'd paint them in LMS maroon, seeing as they'd be going from London to Birmingham and Manchester.
