China already can boast of the highest speeds anywhere in the world in commercial service (i.e. higher than the 320 km/h currently to be seen in France and Spain, although that is set to be increased – see Part 2). As an example, the trains on the Beijing to Shanghai high speed line cover the 1400-km distance in under five hours (compared to the old timing on the ‘legacy’ line of 14 hours). The service from Guangzhou to Wuhan – acknowledged as the fastest train in the world in regular service – does the almost 1000 km between the two cities in under three hours, at an average speed of nearly 330 km/h, and reaching a genuine 392 km/h – at least that is what is displayed on the speedometer in this still shot from a video showing the driver’s cab view.
