I feel you have to think things more in deep. The cost Japan have been spending for its protection was not small, although it did not show up as weapon. It was USA who feared Japanese technology and wished keep eyes on it as "ally". Japan knew it and accepted the role to control world by economy, the other and stronger method of national security. Even China can't attack Japan since materials and parts they are buying are ones only Japan can produce. Got it?
This is what we need in the UK - to replace our shambolic rail system we have now. Not just from London to Birmingham as Cameron has approved, but connecting with HS1 to link up Europe with Scotland and all parts of the UK which is more worthwhile. Trouble is, it would cost a lot to go on and people would just still use cars and cause more traffic jams. UK rail travel is such a ripoff compared to the rest of Europe and indeed the world.
Tokyo - Shin-Osaka 552km(345 miles) Journey time: 2 hours 18 min. Fare: ¥14,250 (£105, $168) Frequency: Every 5-10 minutes, direct.
How does this compare to the UK, say between London and Glasgow, about 400 miles. I know the rail time is 4hrs 20min and by air, 3 hours including travelling to the city centres and the air fare is £101 plus taxi to Glasgow City(another 20 pounds) plus whatever it costs to get from London to Heathrow.
@commfg23 dude that's the magic, that's why the fare is affordable. yes, bullet train on conventional rail track. It shares the station and maintenance cost with ordinary trains.
@commfg23 leaving out really extreme terrain and weather condition, I think it basically works well on most terrain like most trains. It still needs its own separate track with gentler curves though, due to its constantly high speed during the course.
@TheGemus че у тебя пизже? обшарпанные убитые в хлам зелёные говно электрички, которые разваливаются на ходу или обоссаное метро-помойка - это пизже в Рашке?
I still think that we here in Europe should work to outdo the Japanese Shinkansen. Let's take a long look at the way the Japanese system works, copy the damn thing and improve it. Or maybe even better - start switching towards monorail travel.
@coreamax >Japan killed 20 million Koreans [Citations needed] Japan committed atrocities in Korea, but I am beginning to wonder if your country is exaggerating the extent of the crimes suffered during occupation. in the 1900's their were hardly 15million Koreans in the entire peninsula. Stop being so misleading about your countries history.
@kuinosenmonkey All military occupations in history are not without tragedy, no matter who is the occupier (USA, France, Russia, Canada, Umayad Caliphate, Mongolian Khanate) If you believe otherwise, you are not being honest with yourself. I am not suggesting Japanese need to feel eternally guilty for the past, but people need to realize that invading any other country, regardless of intentions (help modernize them, bring them "democracy", search and dismantle WMD's,) is a crime in itself.
Japan did not occupy Korea militarily. The Japan-Korea annexation was carried out according to the request of Korea which feared being absorbed by Russia. Korea was not a colony of Japan.
The Truth of Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula(3-1)
hahaha nice try a little chink. In fact your stupid governor (forgot his name but ugly and stupid one anyway) was kept screaming it's all Chinese original and never copied anything from Japan/Germany LOL
@bbbodylllanguage Personally, cool design better Europe. It can be said with safety and confidence in the world. 420 km will come out that really, you have to travel about 100 kilometers drop is adding rules for safety that should not. We take for granted but which often have a more proud and grateful.
I have to travel to Japan and ride a bullet train one day amongst other cool things to do there. Europe and Asia are miles ahead of us here in North America when it comes to public transportation. I'm forced to pay out the ass to drive and insure a car here.
Thank you really for praising Shinkansen. It is very glad as the Japanese. However, these series500 have not operated it any longer any longer as Nozomi. It runs as Kodama between Shin-Osaka and Hakata now.
uaaau queria esse designe de metro aqui em Manaus ! só que é dificil , mas não impossivel já que manaus é sede da copa 2014 coisa que nem passava pelas nossa cabeça ! teremos monotrilho , agora gostaria de ter metro aqui um trem bala
Japan Shinkansen second accident and operates in 46 years. Even China is imitating the shape of the bullet train, no-nonsense safety and technology. Ugh
During the Shinkansen's 45-year, nearly 7 billion-passenger history, there have been no passenger fatalities due to derailments or collisions,[13] despite frequent earthquakes and typhoons.
@fukuokakyushujapan So assuming that the platform is large enough to accomodate the train, would that mean I would have to walk nearly half a kilometre to get to the exit if I am near the end of the train?
