The world’s fastest train journey - 375mph and 200 miles in 40 minutes.

Japan has broken records in a new test for a high-speed train that will connect two major cities.

Japan has broken records as its 375mph maglev train from Central Japan Railway set a new world speed mark during testing.

The country is already renowned for its extensive transport network, which includes the Shinkansen (bullet) train system, established in 1964. The high-speed rail system, known for its speed, reliability, and safety, connects major cities in Japan with trains that reach up to 200mph. The network currently has the world's fastest trains; however, that will soon change when this new maglev train becomes available for passengers to use.
