Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains, which are said to be among the best trains in the world, get an upgrade. Major railway operator JR East has today announced a new Shinkansen version [JP, PDF] that will enter service in 2011.
The E5 series Shinkansen is not really a master piece design-wise (the colors are horrendous in my opinion) but seems to be all the more convincing from a technical perspective. JR East promises a top speed of 320km/h and a car body completely made of aluminum alloy.
The company ordered a total of 590 cars and will use 10 per train set.
“will enter service in 2001.”
Old news? Typo?
Its 2011, not 2001.
Does it vibrate too? This should be tagged NFSW.
That’s 199mph
How much speed does circumcision add?
That’s good news
