Haz Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Some Japanease Bullet Trains are supposed to be faster, but are disqualified due to the fact they use MagLev rails, not your standard tracks.Anyone watch it on BBC News 24, excellent commentary, at least it made me laugh.

Andy P Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 almost 300mph...criky!!! It was way over 300.. 357.2mph was the top speed. The Jap train holds the record at 361mph however it dosen't actually run on rails, hence the french one holing the "railway" title.Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
