Shanghai Maglev Train Accelerating to 300 km/h
In this video, I am on the Shanghai airport maglev train as it accelerates to 300 km/h. Maglev is short for 'magnetic levitation': the train floats above the track.
I say in the video that it is the fastest train in the world. Indeed, the Shanghai airport maglev ran at 501 km/h during testing and used to hit 431 km/h in regular service. However, it is not the fastest train service anymore, because it was derated to 300 km/h in 2021. Many parts of China's expanding network of high speed trains with wheels, including the line that runs from Shanghai to Hangzhou, can attain 350 km/h in regular service.
This video goes with my post 'Hangzhou and Huzhou', on medium dot com (A Maverick Traveller) and a-maverick dot com, on 13 September 2024.

That's amazing
My old house is the first house on the left of screen at the very beginning of this video! We used to trudge up and down the bridle path to Kaiwharawhara Station to catch the train to school.
I think that's their playful voice ❤❤ wonderful video! ❤
This is my alarm in the morning, I hear it in my dreams and when I wake up. I wish I could descent with them.

Tikitapu is my nephews middle name, our hometown is Rotorua so his name came from that lake 😂😂
Nice to see the old railway station restored. I haven’t been to Otira since the electric locos operated there.
That was actually a Palm Sunday Celebration. and procession, had nothing to do with St Patricks Day.
I go there each year and camp at banockburn we always go on that walk we got lost last year when we do it we have been doing it since my mum was nine now she's 36
Not flash the floor or seat
Hi, this is an very random comment, but I was looking around for info about this ferry and came across your video as just about the only near-current one on TH-cam. What is it like? I see it’s overnight on the ferry company schedule, so, pardon my naïveté, how is it to sleep on? I’d love to travel around the region someday and appreciate the info and video, thanks!
He's so cute, just looking for food! I always loved the birds out here in NZ. 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Saudações muito bom Parabéns ⚓🔧🇧🇷
highland laddie a fucking great tune and well done to the pipers and the drummers braw
Terrible filming.

No means no to the 26 page document noone understood not constitutional recognition
NFW. The Ref got what it deserved? Now proceed to Audit the Billions wasted?
Quiet place
Not bemused,preaching
I guess they didn't get the memo.
It’s the UN and the WHO using the aboriginal people to be placed in parliament and then used to take all the land from everybody in this country. It is as simple as that. This mob here are all paid shills
They r not the original custodian owners anyway there ancestors were. not the half casts that exist today wanting hand outs get OF you're arses get of the drugs alcohol and petrol sniffing find a job like everyone else stop blaming white people for your problems that Youse cause
What a load of shit not recognised all I ever hear on the radio is we acknowledge the original custodian owners and let me tell ya they speak for themselves not the country I don't acknowledge anyone
It's over so get over it most of Australia said no
Give it up. The people have spoken. Not now, not ever!!
I am not an Aussie thank god
Let's move on.
Housing, clean drinking water, education could have been made available at a cost of a wasted $450Million .
Just recognise them
Eric Abetz Involved with the ULURU BARK PETITION Google OTTO ABETZ NAZIS DICTATOR HEAD OF OCCUPIED FRANCE
Time for an EURDIT We're is the $40 billion dollars going Because it's not going to the 1 million Aboriginal citizens
White socialist want more money 🤑💰💰. Meanwhile Black people living in extreme Poverty Domestic Violence is Rampant
😂 It was a majority NO.
You lost get over it mate.
That's right Aboriginals were not there when the British invaded. Constitution recognition is simple. Australian genocide the worst in the world worse than South Africa.
Heard of south America?
No bloody way ...
Not so quick , when it comes to letting 60,%. Of No voting Australians, getting the truth about what massive amount of money Aboriginals get already from theGovernment. And also outside agencies . Labor has turned down an Audit, Why!
NO means NO, which bit don't you understand. It's ok you'll still get your sit down money , all four thousand million of it . $4,000,000,000 have a little think about that one , where does the money go ? And this is per YEAR ,are you kidding ??
The communists tried to breach our constitution..and failed this time .they'll be back again. Albo wants internet censorship now to make the next attempt easier
Albanese should have just had constitutional recognition only. Not 26 pages defining a structure of representation. His advisors were to blame.
HE is to blame. He's a moron who didn't even read the Uluru statement and even admitted it publicly. In any industry, anyone this incompetent would have been dismissed immediately.
As the dust settles you suspect that this was an issue for about 10% of people.
@@anthonywillis7634 10% of 3% of the population that are indigenous
@@glenharrison8524 You don’t make sense. Funding will continue for Aboriginal people just as it always has, we just voted No to them making the decisions on how it should be spent in their communities. Essentially we voted to continue the political and bureaucratic waste on paternalistic decisions. Poor form from Australia on an intellectual and moral standpoint.
Wait. Is it still happening?
I think this is before the actual referendum.
Albanese should be made personally accountable for: -Running poorly prepared referendum in AN ATTEMPT TO CONSTITUTIONALLY IMPLEMENT RACIAL AND ETHNIC INEQUALITY IN AUSTRALIA; -Artificially dividing Australian people along their "yes" and "no" preferences and provoking, at least, public tension; -Hurting our Aboriginal brothers and sisters; -Spending a substantial amount of public money for this cynical populistic stance.
Would not it be a matter of decency and honour for Anthony Albanese to resign after such a convincing crash of his malignant referendum? I guess, if Anthony Albanese has no personal decency and honour, he would try to cling into prime ministerial position and go against the will of the majority of Australians for the sake of his personal perverted ambitions. I do not suggest that Anthony Albanese should have resigned as Prime Minister just because of the failure of this referendum. The outcome of referendum exposes this Albanese's project as malignantly divisive and politically illiterate and suggests that Anthony Albanese is unlikely having professional and moral qualities for leading our nation.
Decency and honesty! In a pollie? Would be nice but that's a very rare creature.
@@josephwinder6878 Albo is personally responsible for: -AN ATTEMPT TO CONSTITUTIONALLY IMPLEMENT RACIAL AND ETHNIC INEQUALITY IN AUSTRALIA; -Dividing Australian people. I think Labor should without delay replace Anthony Albanese with Bill Shorten as their leader and our prime minister.
No other Australian Prime Minister's for 25 years wanted a referendum Albanese was the only one who had the guts to do it.
@@amavericktraveller9334 the foolishness
@@amavericktraveller9334 No other Australian Prime Minister was as much ill with psychotically ambitious populism as Albanese.
You voice sounds like the female presenter of the Australian 60 minute tv program.
