They will travel (with passenger) with 385km/h. That would be a new record. Until now the fastest travel with 350km/h.
But of course the "top speed" without passenger is much much higher.
- trevyn 7y agoSource? Article says top design speed is 350km/h.
- tim333 7y agoWorld records: >The world record for a conventional wheeled passenger train is held by France's TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse), set in 2007 when it reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) on a 140 km section of track.[1] >Japan's experimental maglev train L0 Series achieved 603 km/h (375 mph) on a 42.8 km magnetic levitation track in 2015 I daresay it might be a record for China.
- _-___________-_ 7y agoNot even a record for China. Seems to be a record just for that train, or that train on that track, or something. Hard to say...
- Stevvo 7y agoI think this speed is just for headlines, morjority of trains on the line run at 250km/h, because it's a lot cheaper than running them at 350km/h.
- robjan 7y agoSounds about right. The Shanghai maglev works this way, as an example, travelling at 430kph a few times per day then 300kph the rest: http://www.smtdc.com/en/jszl1_2.html http://www.smtdc.com/en/jszl1_2.html
