China's High Speed Rail Network

I'l keep ChinLish in mind the next time..

No, you only need to stick on topic and refrain from cheap remarks. You are not a kid any more.

Indian locomotives are very much capable of close to 250 kmph speed. It's just that our tracks and our rolling stock are not capable enough.

On the other hand, there are few ques one could take from the tries and tested technology of the TGV trains. The main focus should be on the bogies and how they are shared between consecutive carriages:

P.S.: This is not from the latest TGV, but gives interesting inputs.

I guess it is about the whole package. :cool2:

There is one important safety feature which i assume Chinese lack is the space between each end and front of compartment to absorb the impact from crash, Guess they don't have it yet..

Very important point. Thanks Kunal. Yes, ICF, Perambur and RCF, Kapurthala have been making coaches with crumple zones for decades now.

there does exist a space between each end and frond of compartment,in which i travelled.at least between the 1st car and 2nd car,coz i was in the 1st car.....maybe it is difficult to see from outside.

and rhe designers should be more proffesional than us,i think....

Actually 300mph(500kmph) is the train's top OPERATING speed, not the maximum speed It can hit for testing, data logging and technological development purposes.

Thanks for sharing. Cool trains and clean stations. Siemens A.G.?

BTW, why have the video makers plagiarised music from The Sims?

Plagiaried? You don't seem to be able to live a day without saying something negative or ridiculous or hilarious or absurd huh?

The video is NOT for any commercial or monetary gains.

Are you suggesting that every Indian boy or man or girl or woman making videos to post on site like the youtube is a music composer or they just assume the audience are deaf hence the mute video??

There are that mechanism in the system, but it is destroyed by the thunder storm, and there are also emergency plan for it, but it is not carried by the operators. In fact, in the finial Accident report, it is the management people and the administrator take the main responsibility, not the system provider.

So you're saying that the people who made that video are no music composers and this video is for no commerical purpose. Cool. But do please answer my question, my good Sir, why did they plagiarise the music from The Sims? Why not some other source, perhaps some Chinese music?

 

[sayareakd]

Congrats to China, I know that engineers who have designed it have think over it but just the thought of pulling emergency break at top speed is scary, hope the train never have to use it.

Pretty snazzy train!

Congratulations!

it's call fair use, if you don't understand. About why the music is used, its the same reason why you are using English instead of native language of Hindustan

You mean the Simpsons, The Simpsons ?

English is one of the languages recognised in the Constitution and is at par with the other language recognised.

Not because it is a colonial language, but because it is the language of the Anglo Indians and other communities who recognise it as their native language.

No, The Sims, from Electronic Arts.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Interesting..

But the space is lot lesser than one expected..

Their is always space for Improvement..

 

[Ray]

Space appears less, but it sure looks comfortable.

I am sure the fares will be high to make the train economically viable.
