Maglev in Japan goes 581 km/h

The record for the fastest conventional train in the world is held by the French TGV, which achieved 574.8 Km/Hr on 3rd April 2007. This was a special test run.

There are many trains which run between 300 and 320 Km/Hr on normal scheduled passenger carrying runs. As well as the French TGV, there is the German ICE, Spanish AVE, the the Japanese Shinkansen and Chinese High Speed trains which exceed 300 Km/Hr.

It is difficult to define which train type is the fastest in the world, because there are so many. But an EXTREMELY fast one that is definitley a contender for that title are the bullet trains of Japan. They can get from one end of Japan to the other in a single day. Not the whole day though. There are 6 main bullet train lines called Shinkansen.
