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.

There are 6 main bullet train lines called Shinkansen.
