'Looks like a dream - and goes like a bat out of hell! 300km/h and smooth as silk. Very quiet too... All you can really hear is the humming of electric motors as they pick up speed. -

Another awesome train at Kokura Station. (I used to be a train-spotter, you know? Does it show?!!) ? ? ? Shinkansen 新幹線 (pronounced: Shin-Kan-Sen) refers to the rail system, not the trains that run on it! 新幹線 translates, word-for-word as "New trunk line" - in other words, it's a dedicated high speed rail network. When I was in school, we used to call the trains that ran on the Shinkansen, "Bullet Trains" (Some people still do!) Here's an East-bound or "Up" train at Kokura Station in Kita Kyushu - on a very brief stop before hurtling off towards Tokyo. -
