Shanghai

This Shanghi Maglev train covers the 30KM to Pudong Airport in 7 min 20 sec with a normal maximum speed of 433 km/h. Passing another train is quite an experience but otherwise it rides like a Pendolino. The train has a maximum service speed of 433Km/H or 268mph. A speed indicator is shown in each carriage [lower panel] and a speed of 311 mph was reached on a non commercial run.
