I like the part where they mention "High Speed Railway".  Anything to speed up travel to Shanghai i'm game for.  At the moment, to my knowledge, 3 hours is pretty much the best we can do at current speeds.  I am hoping to shave it to 2, but that might be a pipe dream.

Oh well.  Thanks for the info, Mike.

From what I understand, the fast trains will have the potential to zip along at 450kmh however, with the scandal and losses which have recently come to light, the government have opted for the slower and substantially cheaper engines for future orders. The fast trains which have been ordered will be delivered and commissioned for the high volume tracks but only run at 350kmh. They may run the occasional fast train through here depending on demand.
