Work in Shanghai, CRH has became part of my life. It makes it easy for me to visit my parents in a hundred mile away at a weekend.

I'm a train and I approve this video!

11:25 This part of the video is not the Shinkansen.
This is the interior of The Shanghai Maglev Train.

Here in Ireland, our trains do a maximum of 50 mph. The current cycling speed record is 89 mph.

You could run any one of these trains in the UK and it would still be 10 mins late.

Okay, a little correction about the ICE:
1) You say all 3 Letters of ICE for itself.
2) One of the animations showed not the ICE, but the magnetic levitation train based on the Graphic Design of the ICE. It was only tested in Germany and after a terrible crash on the test track it was never released in Germany.
3) The ICE doesn´t just go to Denmark, it goes to nearly all neighbour states of Germany, including Austria, France, Poland and Belguim.

The maglev has a digital speed readout visible to passengers. It did 450 kph when I was on it in 2006. Cost was $10 to the airport.

At 11:24 WRONG footage. The interior shown is Shanghai Pudong Airport Maglev train in China, not Japanese Shinkansen E5!

You know shits getting fast when number 15 goes 186 mph

The current world speed record for a commercial train on steel wheels is held by the French TGV at 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph), achieved on 3 April 2007 on the new LGV Est.

Great railway video. It failed to mention that the high speed train in Saudi’s Arabia is by a Spanish rail manufacturer.

[kipidiaye]

Definately that Japanese, Chinese, and Germany High Speed Manifacturer have the most beautiful train facade. I love the Shinkansen, Fuxing Hao and the ICE train.

As long as none of these trains is designed, manufactured or operated in USA it would nice to use units that the huge majority of the world population uses. It is km/h, not mph.

[anduboi]

Those trains are fast af, but unfortunately, in Europe, they are not allowed to go over 320 km/h when in service :/

Shanghai Maglev was built by a German company but it had a major accident during test in Germany and many people died.

[marquinho]

By the time you get into Shanghai Maglev and take your seat you already need to get out. 😂😂😂

[justinberdell]

Could you maybe consider adding where you found the information you use? It's not that I don't believe you I only wish to read more about some things. Cool videos!

Some commentaries: 1. All this trains are good, comfortable and fast. The difference of maximum speeds are not large. 2. The Korean train is of french technology. 3. The more important thing is the extension of the lines. 4. The german ICE had some troubles and dramatic accidents two decades ago. The spanish train also. 5. The speed record is 585 km per hour of the french TGV. 6. The speed depends very much of the line and its topographic conditions. 7. The United States and Great Britain are on the last position of the train technology course. 8. Europe and Asia in the front line.

@ 7:29 it says “32 euro or 65 bucks” €32 is $38 at current exchange rates but GREAT VIDEO

I want to see that train that looks like the designer had a bad day and wanted to insult his supervisor with a butt joke. That one from thumbnail... people have no shame any longer. :-)
