Japanese exported shinkansen finally running in Taiwan!

[Mikawa Ossan]

Sorry, I don't have an English article off hand, but this has been on my mind for a while now.

The first export of Japanese bullet train technology has been basically completed, as the Taiwan Shinkansen has officially opened! There are some concerns about safety, especially seeing as the tracks and supporting systems where originally designed for the European version of bullet trains, and there is a shortage of train engineers, but I am very excited about it finally opening! I can't wait to ride it next time I visit!

Taiwanese shinkansen

Yeah, I saw this story on Thursday's version of the bbc news website. Here's the link. Looks a good train. 4hrs to 90minutes, that's some going.
Oh, I can't post URLs to third party websites yet. Well, go to the bbc which would be at dotcodotuk and look at asia/pacific on January 4th

or rather, click on Taiwan in the "choose a country" field it'll be there for a while yet.

Here's another link for the story.

It's certainly an international affair!

Drivers of the Japanese bullet trains will be French or German, but they will only be allowed to speak English to Taiwanese traffic controllers who oversee tracks designed by British and French engineers.

Was it a French, and/or German design. Aren't these Japanese bullet train ?


I think I know the answer, but suprise me !

YEAH! my mom recently went on it; it supposedly only takes abt 3 hrs to get from taipei to kaohsiung, not exactly sure how they do it, but it's really cool.
only one bad thing about it- it goes so fast that there are bloodstains found on the outside...................................... don't worry, they're not human bloodstains, just innocent birds who happened to pass the train

My taiwanese friend told me about it. She said the ride was awesome!
