Just had another week in China - 3 days Shanghai and 2 back in Beijing. Took the Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) train from outside Shanghai to the
Airport. I reckon the pics speak for themselves.
Pretty continual acceleration, over a 4 minute period, and a 20 km trip over in 7 mins. Now if the state government could only look a few more years
into the future, Canberra and Newcastle would be between 30-60 min trip into Sydney. Now that, would solve any population problems. I don't care how
they fund it, and with regular services, would see them keep the price down.
Hmmm...now to awake someone with a vision.
Check the start time....
...and the time now.
I'll load up a video tomorrow.
infrastructure in Australia has to problems distance and population (tax base). Shanghai has about the same amount of people as ALL of Australia so
these projects are effective for regular usage and ongoing maintenance. Would be nice though
yes its great i went on it in May 2006 n have similar pics
did u stick yr head aginst the window when the train was coming the other way
theres a BIG shock wave

awesome, but definately not the senic route
the other thing is we were on the bus going to the airport along that freeway which took about 50 minutes or so and i said to all the guys
keep an eye out for the train we saw it go past twice while we were on the freeway
we told out tour guide to include it as part of the tour of Shanghai
but they couldnt understand why ( dumb shits )
