Some information about the ICE3 and ICE4 (btw. usually it is letterspelled and never spoken as a word, thus called Ai Cee Eeh), the TGV and the Stadler Giruno. In Germany the ICE3 is operated between 250-300kmph depending on the section it is operated on (i.e. Frankfurt/Main Kassel) and on the french TGV sections it can also achieve 320kmph. The 330kmph is the certified Vmax the Velaro S (as this platform of train is called by Siemens). The ICE4 is already in operation and was initially certified for 250kmph on the entire german network. Certification has then been upgraded to allow operation speeds of up to 265kmph on selected lines (see above). Although the ICE4 is designwise capable of handling speeds of up to 350kmph, there are no plans yet to extend the operation speeds over 265kmph while it‘s certified Vmax is 320kmph. Yes, it is a complex situation in Germany as these trains also operate in other countries (not the ICE4 though which currently only serves Germany, Austria and Switzerland (i.e. Hamburg Interlaken). So all in all the ICE3 still remains the fastest series of ICE trains operated by Deutsche Bahn And about the TGV: The operational Vmax of the single and doubledecker trains is limited to 320kmph. With the next-gen ETCS system that is supposed to be implemented in 2025, trains will probably reach speeds of up to 380kmph. Technically the normal version of the train is certified of speeds up to 400kmph. The speed of 574.8kmph during it‘s test drive has been done with a modified unit consisting only of 3 cars, specialized pantographs, bigger wheels (1085mm instead of the usual 925mm), a bigger power drain of 32000kW instead of the usual 18000kW and at a current of 35kV instead of 25kV. Now on to the Swiss Giruno (spoken Dschiruhno, as it is italian for „Hawk“). This train composition has been built in 2016 and put into service in 2019 and currently operates at an operational Vmax of 250kmph, while it‘s certified Vmax is 275kmph. On independent tests, this trainsets has reached top speeds of up to 358kmph however only on a french test line as switzerland has no such long straight lines to accelerate to the top speed and then break down again in time. Generally there are no plans to extend the speed beyond the Vmax of 250kmph, not even though the Gottthard-Basistunnel due to technical and safety reasons. Side info about the shanghai maglev that dominates the list with a top speed of 430kmph. Only 2 train courses during the day are currently operating at that top speed. The other courses operate at a lower speed of „only“ 350kmph. This is based upon the fact that the operator has troubles operating this train economically in the green zone. Also this results in a slight wear and tear on the „rolling stock“ as the manufacturer (Siemens) does no longer actively develop the Transrapid 08/09 series platform nor produce spare parts for it after there had been a serious accident in 2007 on the test track Emsland. The Transrapid 08 is dated back to 1999 when test drives were made (only 3 units have been built entirely consisting of 3 cars). The Shanghai Maglev Train (SMT) is a modified version with 5 cars. It‘s achieved top speed is 501kmph while Siemens also claims it could even reach operational(!) top speeds of up to 550kmph had the development not stopped in 2007. Sadly, when the SMT will cease to exist either to the EOL of the Transrapid 08 or when Shanghai is no longer able to keep the train operational, this era of german maglev engineering will be a thing of the past. Hope that helps a little with correct stats while this video again is amazing!
Omg we never knew America 🇺🇸 too have trains we all thought America is so soo rich country we all thought Americans only traveled on airplane ✈️ these was a new thing I learned today.
Wait did the trains stop by Milan? My name is Milan that is funny well I was named after it so it makes sense I am from Puyallup Washington I was going to go there before but covid stopped us😔
Gautrain is the first bullet train in Africa and it was first commissioned in 2009 in preps for the 2009 fifa confed cup and ultimately the 2010 fifa world cup, so that one of Morocco is a lie
Why is it disappointing that something as controlled as a train can reach 268mph whereas a car (Hennessey Venom) can go faster? Surely a train should be going MUCH faster by now, a Maglev up to aircraft speeds as (again), it has more control of direction etc.
Umm… the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Sport has a VMax of 431kmph and a power of 1200HP / 882kW while moving 1888kg. The Shinkansen E6 for example reaches 320kmph using 6000kW and moving 435000kg. I think it‘s easy to see with a little knowledge of physics why that car is faster than a conventional train, although test cars of the Shinkansen L0 train set (for testing purposes) has reached a top speed of 603kmph! Try that with a conventional car even on a suitable road. There aren‘t even tires that would stand against these enormous speeds and forces!
Also America is much more infrastructure throughout the land. China and Japan and land alike have straight routes they can cut thru. We would be cutting thru a billion neighborhoods the whole way lol
Number one dont ever skip over stops like the 2nd biggest City in the East Coast. Talking about like Ny and Bmore lol EAGLES ARE 3 AND 0 AND BALLLLINGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHILLY BABYYY LOL

I'm a train fanatic so this video was the perfect video for me..... Love this channel keep up the videos
*We have crappy rail here in Australia. sadly. great video*
I love "crappy" rail.
Thailand has the slowest and rickety. That I've been on
Amazing video 😍🥰
Really incredible and amazing future hopes us

love the content
Amazing video
Fantastic
Indonesia G20 , Agustus follow , good job , Obrigado
PRC has built thousands of kilometre high speed rail network
Omg we never knew America 🇺🇸 too have trains we all thought America is so soo rich country we all thought Americans only traveled on airplane ✈️ these was a new thing I learned today.
Nice video
Both ICE and Eurostar have a stations in Netherlands. The picture showing both trains should show that as it is likely Amsterdam central or schiphol
The train station name was visible for a short period of time, namely Arnhem Centraal.
Want to ride these high-speed rail one day!.....Sigh!
*One day trains will go faster than planes*
Cool 😎
"Huh huh heh huh huh....
Seamen. Huhh-huh huh...."
-Beavis and butthead
The Shanghai Maglev is so cool cause their trains float on air and they don't have wheels
When will United States of America build a speed train from San Diego to Sacramento , Oregon , Wa all the way to Fl to Ma.
Never. Amtrack would have a fit for starters.
China railway systems is most powerful fastest in the world 🌎 luxury design....some of them leather seats :)
I live in China...rarely fly now...no need 😎
Imagine if we had this in usa. Vegas to California on an hour!
Who are the crazy people who get on this train of the future. I hate speed If something happens, there's nothing left to Tell stories.🔥
How often do you hear about rail crashes? Roads and planes are far more dangerous.
the people who gets out for work, karen
That's Fast
Channel Says Top Fives But You Required 15!
Where is the Talgo Avril that runs speeds of 330 kph?
Wait did the trains stop by
Milan? My name is Milan that is funny well I was named after it so it makes sense I am from Puyallup Washington I was going to go there before but covid stopped us😔
Your wrong with the number one fastest train there is a Maglev train in Japan it go's 300mph
china released a maglev prototype with 600 km per hour speed
Gautrain is the first bullet train in Africa and it was first commissioned in 2009 in preps for the 2009 fifa confed cup and ultimately the 2010 fifa world cup, so that one of Morocco is a lie

Common sense will answer that for you.

Also America is much more infrastructure throughout the land. China and Japan and land alike have straight routes they can cut thru. We would be cutting thru a billion neighborhoods the whole way lol
Not to mention mountains
Number one dont ever skip over stops like the 2nd biggest City in the East Coast. Talking about like Ny and Bmore lol EAGLES ARE 3 AND 0 AND BALLLLINGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHILLY BABYYY LOL
The acela is a joke......just get an Uber if you don't want to drive
Qahtrh
That Chinese maglev is a joke!
How so?
Sure, everything from China is a joke, right?
First
Not true number one is French Tvg, maximum speed 578.4 mph.
