World’s Fastest Train Unveiled in China

Beijing, China (AHN) – China has unveiled world’s fastest bullet train to connect two of its industrial hubs, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The train will cover the 200-km distance between the two cities in just 45 minutes, travelling at an average speed of 350 kmph.
This rail link will reduce the travelling time by 78 minutes. During the testing of tracks, the home-built CRH380 bullet train traveled at a speed of 420 km per hour, setting a world record.
However, its makers said that the train would not travel at such a high speed but lesser than its full tilt at an average of 350km per hour.
The high-speed rail network already covers 7,431km after it first started between Beijing in Tianjin port city in 2008 and the Chinese government is considering expanding it to over 16,000km by 2020.
“The operation of the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed rail line will help alleviate traffic pressure in the Yangtze River Delta region”, said Liu Zhijun of the Minister of Railways. His ministry hopes to see more than three billion trips by passengers in and out of the Yangtze delta by the end of this year.
