China already has the world’s longest high-speed rail (HSR) network with about 7,431 km (4,617 mi)[1] of routes in service as of September 2010, including 1,995 km (1,240 mi) of rail lines with top speeds of 350 km/h(220 mph).
·
China's high speed rail lines consists of the world’s first high-speed commercialmagnetic levitation (maglev) line., 17,000 km (11,000 mi) of high-speed lines are now under construction. China is the first and only country to have commercial train service on conventional rail lines that can reach 350 km/h (217 mph). Notable examples of HSR in China include:
.
The Wuhan–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway, a passenger-dedicated trunk line that opened in 2009, has reduced the 968 km (601 mi) journey between the largest cities in central and southern China to 3 hours. Trains reach top speeds of 350 km/h (220 mph) and average 310 km/h (190 mph) for the entire trip.
.
The Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, an intercity express line that opened in 2008, has shortened the 117 km (73 mi) commute between the two largest cities in North China to 30 minutes. Trains reach top speeds of 330 km/h (210 mph) and average 234 km/h (145 mph) for each trip.
.
The Shanghai Maglev Train, an airport rail link service that opened in 2004, travels 30.5 km (19 mi.) in 7 minutes and 20 seconds, averaging 245.5 km (152.5 mph) and reaching top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph).
·
The Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway, set to open in July 2011, which will reach a top operational speed of 380 km/h..
.
China’s new rail service travels through 20 cities along its route, connecting central China and less developed regions to the larger and more industrial Pearl River Delhi. at a whopping 245mph (394km/h) during trial runs earlier in December. The average speed will be 217 mph (350 km/h), which is much faster than the other high-speed trains around the world. Japan’s high-speed rail runs at an average of 243 km per hour, Germany’s at 232 km per hour, and France’s at 277 km per hour.
.
On 28 th September, the new generation China Railway High-Speed train runs up to 416.6 kilometers per hour. It breaks the highest world record of experimental railway speed.
.
As of 2010, India does not have any high-speed rail lines capable of supporting speeds of 200 km/h (125 mph) or more, and none is under construction or subject to definite plans, only of longer-term proposals.
.
Fastest Shatabdi : 2002 Bhopal Shatabdi running in between New Delhi and Bhopal runs at 93.1 km / hr or 58.1miles/ hour
.
Fastest Rajdhani :2951 Mumbai Rajdhani in between Mumbai Central andNew Delhi 90.5km/hr or 56.5 miles / hr.
.
Fastest Duronto :2259 Sealdah Duronto in between Sealdah and Delhi runs at 89.0km/hr or 55.6 miles / hr.
