Re: QR Tilt Train Speed Trials

Nah thats not amazing. Over 500km/h is *amazing.* The swedish X2000 has
reached 238km/h, and British trains reach can 225km/h. German trains can
reach 280km/h in service. And French, Japanese, Italian and Spanish trains
can all reach 300km/h in service. Now thats fast. But not as fast as the
amazing 515km/h TGV speed record.
