Information of Fastest Bullet Train

Clearly not ready to let go of the Olympic motto — higher, faster, stronger — even after the end of the 2008 Games, Chinese state media has announced the country’s plans for developing the world’s fastest bullet train. The new train would link China’s political capital Beijing to its commercial centre Shanghai and would run at a speed of 380 km per hour, or 30 km per hour more than the current generation of bullet train, making it the fastest the world has ever seen. The proposed project connects the two cities of Shanghai and Beijing traversing a distance of 1318 km. The running hours between the two cities will be cut down to four hours from ten hours. Works have started from April 2008 and is continued at rapid pace. When completed it would be a transportation marvel, enabling upto 380 km per hour.
