Meh.. what's the point of having fast trains here anyway? You just fall over more (/sometime Swindon station traveller rant).
WOW - you really get a feel for the speed when it goes under the bridge - we NEED one

They had a jet chasing it to provide the live camera feed.

Its about 350mph if my dodgy maths is at all right?
oh and the French aren't better than us, they've just improved one of our inventions.

Tom Scott,

The train is the transport of the peasant. No wonder the French are masters of it
"You've gotta laugh when you fall off a sofa!"
Wow a three hundred mile an hour train, shame its only stops are in france really or it might be good for something.
Hey steve, how do you know a jet was chasing it? I didnt see it. But our friends the japaneese seem to have much more, advanced trains. But maybe just maybe not the fastest.
p.s didnt richard branson order some of those tilting trains? lol
Their next trick.... teaching their ladies to remove underarm hair
Now that WOULD be a miracle
Blimey - wonder how long the braking distance is?
Read it on The Register's discussion board. The Japanese magnetic trains can go slightly faster, but that TGV is the fastest train on rails.Originally Posted by zashark

I aint denying that fact mate, but just wondered where the jet bit came from.
I really wanted to see jets chasing a train.
Yup.. they have a decent rail network that allows for double decker trains and decent capacity.
Heh.. Virgin have had tilting trains for a while now - very nice indeed
I love the comment on that video
"All they need now is a flux capacitor and a bolt of lightning. Time travel sorted."
Wasn't it one of the tilting trains that crashed recently (the Pendolino or something)?
Yup. Built like a tank
