Re: bullet train Japan

If you think you're making me jealous, you'd be right. Look how clean and comfortable the carriages are compared to the cattle-trucks we have here.

You must tell us of the experience when you get back so that I can go a darker shade of green.

Re: bullet train Japan

We went to Hiroshima on the bullet train a few years ago, amazing journey but Hiroshima very depressing. It was a fabulous holiday but bullet train not included, very expensive!

Re: bullet train Japan

What speed does it do , it looks wonderful

Re: bullet train Japan

Sounds fantastic. A trip of a lifetime.

Re: bullet train Japan

Amazing.
I noticed how clean both the station and the train was. Where was all the litter blowing round the platform and on the tracks. The smart uniform of the ticket collector and the way she acknowledged passengers by touching her hat in salute. The trolley girl bowing as she left the compartment.
It looked so fast.
Is Japan really like this?

Re: bullet train Japan

Yes, it really is. The children are trained from a very early age, they do not drop litter, they clean their own classrooms. Everyone is very polite, an amazing country.

Re: bullet train Japan

The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen). Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for maglev trains in April 2015.
