Hi!

The cool thing is that the race is far to be over with new train like JR's E5 Shinkansen.

We're actually testing TGV's successor here in France : the AGV.

It will be able to reach speed of 360 km/h on normal service and I wish it will be able to break top speed record of 575 km/h.

Well, the TGV may be faster (and its tickets cheaper), the service has nothing to see with the japanese trains. First class in TGV is more like second class in Shinkansen. Pure technical performances are not everything. Unfortunately for me. I would love have such space for my legs and nice behaviour from the JR staff.

If you ride on in the green car (first class) on JR the service is great and lot's of space.

just 30% in price form 2nd class money well spend.
