What is the Japanese high speed train known as?
In English they are referred to as Bullet Trains; in Japanese, 'shinkansen.'
What are the differences Between Japanese Shinkansens and European High Speed Trains in terms of how the train is controlled?
The difference between Japanese Shinkansens and European High Speed Trains is that the European High Speed Trains make use of European EC Directive 96/48 while the Japanese Shinkansens use an ATC (Automatic Train Control) system.
What fuel do bullet trains use?
'Bullet train' is a name coined by the English language media for the Japanese Shinkansen high speed trains. These trains are electrically powered and draw electric current from a VERY high voltage catenary system above the track.
Are bullet trains and TGV trains the same train?
No.'Bullet train' is a name coined by the English language media for the Japanese Shinkansen high speed trains.TGV = 'Train à Grande Vitesse' which is French for 'high speed train'. This is the brand name used by SNCF (French Railways) for their high speed trains.Other brand names are used in other countries for their high sped trains; for example AVE in Spain and ICE in Germany.
Can other trains in Britan and Scotland travel faster than trains in the High Speed 1?
No, the other trains in Britain and Scotland cannot travel faster than the trains in the high speed one.
When did high speed trains first start running commercially?
High speed trains are rail transport that utilizes technology to travel significantly faster than traditional transport. High speed trains first started to run commercially in 1964 at Japan, and were known as the bullet trains.

How is a high speed rail made?
High speed rail trains generally run on standard tracks that are continuously welded together. The trains are made to have better aerodynamics so that speed can be increased.
Blank and high speed trains use electromagnets to operate?
Both maglev (magnetic levitation) trains and high-speed trains utilize electromagnets, but in different ways. Maglev trains are lifted and propelled by powerful electromagnets, allowing them to float above the tracks and achieve speeds exceeding traditional trains. High-speed trains, on the other hand, typically rely on conventional tracks and use electromagnets for braking and traction, enhancing their speed and efficiency while maintaining contact with the rails.
What year was first high speed trains used?
2010
