Maglev is a good idea but in Japan only. Because Japan is a "straight thin" island, where cities are settled in line from north to south and mostly on the east side, so a straight maglev-road from Hokkaido to Kyushu would be perfect in this configuration. Whereas Europe is a continent, this means you need to have flexibility, and a multi-way network. I used to live in Japan in 2001 just after Maglev starts up, and reach France in 2004, so I know what I am talking about.
@asdf36254 Dude you need to back up your statement with some evidence. A video perhaps showing a maglev blowing the whistle so that i can believe in your story.
Pigs dont fly & dont tell me they do...except if you have seen one and can prove it.
Therefore, since, due to the speeds attainable by the Transrapid, and any similar - yet more advanced - system to follow, and the inherently safer operational conditions, which are, essentially, the fact of no moving parts, it follows that the wave of the future for high-speed ground transportation, for passengers and freight, for at least the next 200 hundred years, is Maglev.
It's foolish to compare Conventional High Speed Rail (CHSR) with such exotic systems as Thyssen-Siemens' Transrapid Maglev system, as they are completely different from each other. One (CHSR) uses the traditional — albeit highly advanced — steel wheels on steel rails, with concomitant axles, suspension, electric drives, gears, etc.; the other floats on a magnetic field and is impelled by an induction current; has no wheels, no axles, no suspension, no drives; hence, no moving parts.
Sqaaak i think you french people should start building maglev trains...
TGV does not impress anyone these days as most countries across Europe and America have similar TGV-like trains. Most people are more impressed by Maglev technology and are looking forward to maglevs in their countries..
@RobertsDigital Lol maglev fan boy don't think with their brain ... maglev can only run on a magnet road without possible connection with a classic railraod ...
maglev is just a gadget for dumbass who want to spent billion dollars without real capacity of railroad network connexion ...
a TGV or AGV can go on ALL railroad easily and go out high speed rail for classic rail raod (to make departure on city without high speed rail)
@alpacks Last thing for robertdigital : i think you speak of US project to have high speed train in california ? HST california have problem to finish the financial files to can buy train and high speed rail network ... but i think they can finish to gather all money needed ...
but you dream dude, california never can to finance a maglev Los angeles --> san francisco lol ... have an little idea of Coc's of a maglev with his line ? it"s a ruin !
@Sqaaak I thought maglev trains do have wheels that retract once the train reaches a certain speed. Without wheels, what happens once the train slows and comes to a stop, it skids along the bottom of the train?
I like this one nice design to it but for Australia I still recon the Siemens Velaro E (AVE S-103) but least Australia has got time to make up it's mind cause are Government has been on and off with this idea of HS Rail since the late 80s as far as I know =)
When they say fastest Train in the World they mean Fastest Rail Train in the World for the people who don't know the fastest Train in the World is the Japanese MagLev and it uses a Magnetic Track unlike the other Bullet Trains Such as AVE (Spain), ICE 3 (Germany), TGV (France) etc and the AGV (France) of course =)
I wondered what has been happening with the AGV since earlier tests.
Martin Plachy is one lucky guy! I wish I were the Test Operator!
Well, IF America had gotten HSR 25 years ago, I'm sure the USA would have placed a large order, too. And, I would have been among the lucky operators when they come Online. Sigh.
That is false. ICEs in Germany regularly travel from 225 km/h over several sectors. It is not true that this is the only track where 200 km/h speeds are allowed.

Let's wait for the japanese to reduce maglevs cost and then we'll steal the technology off of them. Nothing to see here, move on.

581km.. but the new Shinkansen will travel faster than it.. But they are working on rails to handle the speeds

@alpacks maglev is not realist for real economic utilities ...
see maglev aroud the world to see reality with this poor gadget ... and his price !
i laugh when a i see poor argument like child when i read stupid people

@dallaspolo maglev is not a train ...
you can't go anywhere with that other in his magnetic special line ... a train can go on all rail network ...
oh miracle ! tgv and agv can go on all rail network : like a real train ...
AGV is the real fatest train ... it's like it dude ...
maglev is just a toy with very expensive line just that ...
