TOP 15 FASTEST High Speed Trains - Updated 2023

High speed trains have revolutionized the way we travel since the first one hit the rails on October 1st, 1964 in Japan. The Tokaido Shinkansen sped its way between Tokyo and Osaka at 130 miles per hour, and since then, high-speed trains have only become faster and more efficient. In today's video we'll be counting down the top 15 fastest trains in the world. Let's begin.

It's fascinating to see how different countries are advancing in high-speed train technology. Do you have any other fast trains that you think should have made the list? Let us know below!

Sounds like amazing trains. Hard to believe #1 isn’t available until 2045, I will already be in my early 50s by then.

Meanwhile, in the US, we're arguing about what a woman is.

Only Japan has the Hello Kitty high-speed train.

List is screwed up. No15 is faster than no2!

The railways look really impressive. The development of railways and the introduction of modern speed and safety systems is development of infrastructure. Congratulations on the development of infrastructure and TOP 👍
Great respect for all
Best wishes from 🇵🇱

You're confusing Operating Speed and Top Speed

China's 2023 Maglev: 620kph
Japan's 2015 Maglev: 602kph

China's HSR network: 42, 500km
Japan's HSR network: 2, 830 km

Average Operating Speed:

China: 350kph (standardized)
Japan: 160, 250, 320 (not standardized)

The US is so behind when it comes to any advanced form of transportation

[wonderland]

My dream is to ride these trains, do you agree with me?😂😂😂

[JDRTRM]

Getting the tracks set down etc etc etc . Lot involved, wish we had them here USA

[RandallWI]

So basically, European and Asian countries were... are still considered forward thinking when it comes to moving a lot of people at a fast, efficient, and relatively safe way whereas North America... in particular, the United States isn't ? Not surprised 🙄😵‍💫

As for the No. 1 train, the prefecture in the middle of the line is against the start of construction, so although the train itself is fast, the speed at which it opens is extremely slow.

As the vast majority of global citizens only understand Metric (including myself), it would be wonderful if you provided Metric speeds for future videos. I have no idea what "375 miles per hour" is! Thank you in advance.

Japan's high-speed railways are on a different level.

[greentraveler]

The fastest commercial train in the world is Shanghai maglev, Japanese one didn't put into commercial service.

[michaele]

I’ve rode the one in Paris and the one in japan the first 20 or 30 minutes of looking out the window all you see is a blur then your eyes kinda get use to it but you better look quick

[Scherrah]

When it came to the spanish raills (Talgo), you spelled it Taglo but it is spelled like it is written. (Tahlgo). And when Talking about the ICE 4, there were footages of various Siemens Velaro (ICE2/ICE3 trains). The ICE4 is currently set to max speed of 265kmph (which is about 1170mph). But otherwise it‘s an impressive video again.

P.S.: We don‘t spell the ICE trains (Ice as in ice cream) but rather Ei Ce Eh (because ICE stands for Inter City Express). Interesting also that you already have shown concept arts of the Velaro Novo which is part of the ICE 5 generation project which will replace the ICE 3 (Velaro) by 2030s, however there‘s also competition from Alstom and Talgo so it‘s not sure if Siemens or Alstom/Talgo will take place to build the new ICE 5 generation.

China's high-speed rail has no life insurance🤣

Meanwhile here in Hungary the State Railways urge people to use other ways of public transport due to the recent heatwave. I could cry.

[Mohamed-pljk]

If these trains are design as capsule loop module it'll definitely attain utmost speed than currently being through
