Did a simple bit of maths. This is an E5 series Shinkansen. It is 253 Meters (830 feet) in length, and in this clip took roughly 3 seconds to travel its length. Dividing distance by time gives speed. So based on a train length of 253m passing in 3 seconds we do 253/3, which gives us ~84.3m/s. In everyday speed units that's 188.9mph or 304km/h

Japan’s railroad companies have technology to run Shinkansen faster, but Japan imposes strict safety standards to them (Japanese very worry about safety) , so it is more difficult for Shinkansen to increase the maximum operating speed compared to other high speed trains in the world. Also, Noise Regulation Act for Shinkansen prevent them from increasing speed, because residential areas are near railroad tracks in Japan! They also have to take more preparations for frequent earthquakes in Japan. Even so, Shinkansen has been increasing speed, considering safety. (For 55 years, no passenger has killed in accidents since opening in 1964.)

[@lordofthefries4140]

I don't think anyone has the technology to make the Shinkansen faster (faster than the Fuxing anyways) because of physical constraints on conventional rail vehicles. Plus there isn't a need, because a 25mph difference doesn't really result in any time savings in a compact country like Japan (not as much wide open track for the train to attain full speed).

When the Intercity 225 was introduced, the claim was made - and I believe it - we (Britain) run more trains at over a hundred miles an hour, than any other country, in the world. And trains are faster, quieter and longer than they used to be. Your complaint really irritates me, because you either know nothing about it, or you know nothing about railways elsewhere. That 300kmh train is running on a special track - a whole, new railway, if you like. The design parameters for the elevation profile is a straight line drawn between two points. The design parameters for the route location, is more or less a straight line drawn between two points. Nothing is allowed to get in its way, nothing. The signalling is designed exclusively for trains traveling at 300kmh. That train did not have a 70kmh freight train 30 minutes in front of it, a 120kmh commuter train twenty minutes in front of it or a 200kmh express passenger train crossing five minutes in front of it. In fact, there is almost certainly nothing in front of it that isn't traveling at 300kmh. Our railways were built anywhere from about 1830 onwards and their routes haven't changed since. The curves have been eased in places and the superelevation has changed for faster trains. We even developed tilting trains so they could go faster still, but the press and British Managerial incompetence swept all that away and now, forty years later, we buy the bloody things from Italy! We have a railway system that still runs an awful lot of trains at over 100mph, interspersed with 45mph freight trains, 75mph local trains, stopping every 5 to 10 miles, 75 mph freight trains, 100 mph express and 125 mph express trains. Plus the odd 75 mph steam hauled excursion trains and you can count those on the thumbs of one hand in Japan. Yes, the Japanese have a really good rail system, but it isn't perfect and it isn't cheap. Just like ours in many ways, but we've only got one, dedicated high speed line and that is awesome. Please don't gauge our local trains by a dedicated, very high speed railway. There is no, fair comparison.

Don't give up hope, plenty of "third world" countries can have HSR. China did it. ( back in 2008 when no one else had any faith they would). Arabia did it. Indonesia is about to get it. India is getting it in a few years. Morocco did it. Yep, even fckn Africa has better HSR than my good old USA now.

As a German I'm used to ICE trains dashing through the station at 300 kph, it is really intimidating. the ICE train is actually able to catch up with the shinkansen when it comes to speed, on the TGV tracks in France it can even reach 320 kph. The fastest speed I went in Germany was 305 kph (it is sometimes shown on the train information system, I did not check it via GPS). What really makes a difference for me is the design of the Shinkansen trains. It is really iconic and I was extremely impressed when one of these trains arrived on the platform and I could see it in reality for the first time. Next time I will try to ride the Tohoku Shinkansen.

In Australia we still have suburban trains running at 60 kph, the same speed as steam trains in the 19th century! Even the higher speedtrains between cities are very slow, the XPT tops out at 160 kph, but often has to go slower because of certain sections not being capable of supporting those speeds. The train ironically could travel up to 200 kph, which is not bad, but the rail infrastructure doesn't allow it.
