A magnetic levitation (maglev) train in Japan has broken the world speed record by hitting 366mph. The Central Japan Railway Company said the seven-car train completed a test run on an experimental track in Yamanashi on Thursday. It beat the previous record of 361mph set in 2003 - but the new record could be smashed within days. Another test run is scheduled for Tuesday during which the train's speed could reach 373mph.
