  • I went on the shinkansen 700 to Kyoto return from Tokyo In april '06 'also on the Romancecar to Hakone return. I love Japanese trains.

  • justtakeiteasy. You certainly have a point. The 125s are a fantastic long running train. I have never been on the apparently excellent Pendollinas. I certainly found the Shinkansen 700 excellent. I am sorry I have never been on a Shinkansen 500. Maybe it is because of strict regulations that they keep changing the Shinkansens?

  • Did KAWASAKI make all these trains?

  • siries... don't you mean sEries?

  • What a technologically advanced nation bloody hell

  • 500kei nozomi kakkoii~ (^^)

  • i love this train.

  • I think they were doing away with the 500 series because it was poor aerodynamic-wise. Amazing considering that stunning design and the ugliness of the 700! Hopefully we'll get HS2 up in Britain and done properly, so here's hoping the bad economic climate ends! BTW living in Kent I can say the Hitachi's are great but only have a max speed of 140MPH...and Southeastern only run them at 125MPH so they can run them at full speed if it's running late!

  • ohh fucking big woop trains going thru the station fucking BANG

  • @justtakeiteasy I like your vision of the future. (p.s. The steam train you're talking about is called Tornado)

  • President Obama just announced that High speed trains will be coming to certain corridors in the U.S. But by High Speed, he means 188 km/h, not 300. With American railroads' dependence on grade crossings and resistance to electrification, that is probably the upper limit for train speeds in the United States.
