What is Japan's fastest subway?

What is the fastest train line in Japan?

Okay, so like, the Hayabusa train? It’s totally the fastest in Japan. I think.

It goes super fast, like 320 km/h (that’s 200 mph!). Wow!

• It, uh, goes directly from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori, which, uh, takes about 189 minutes.
• I wish I could take it! Like, imagine seeing Aomori so fast.
• I bet the scenery is like, whoosh, ya know?

It’s part of the Shinkansen lines, which are all bullet trains. Theyre really something.

My cousins visited in 2023 and they took a bullet train. Okay, so like, they were impressed!

I always wanted to go on a train to Hakodate to see all the pretty lights but it takes 4 hours.

What is the highest speed of the Japanese Metro?

Ugh, Japanese metros. So many lines. The Tōzai Line, that’s the fast one, right? 100 km/h. Sixty-two mph. Feels crazy fast underground. My friend Kenji swears it’s even faster sometimes, but I doubt it. He’s always exaggerating.

Tokyo Metro… confusing. Different voltages, too. 1500V DC and 600V DC. What’s the difference even? Electrification stuff. Makes my head spin.

The Ginza Line is a snail. Sixty-five km/h max. Pathetic. I’d rather walk. Though walking in Tokyo… stressful. Crowds. So many people. Always in a rush.

Marunouchi Line? Seventy-five. Slightly better than the Ginza Line, I guess. Still, nothing compared to the Tōzai. That’s the king of speed in the Tokyo Metro system. No question.

100 km/h is the highest speed. I’m sticking to that. Fact. End of discussion. Unless someone can prove otherwise. I need to get to Shibuya by 7. Ugh, this traffic.

• Tōzai Line: 100 km/h (62 mph) – Fastest!
• Marunouchi Line: 75 km/h (47 mph)
• Ginza Line: 65 km/h (40 mph) – Slowest!
• Different voltage systems – 1500V and 600V DC.

Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, trains. Need to check the 2024 schedule for the Narita Express. Gotta go to the airport next month. And my flight is at 8 AM. Will I make it?

What is the average speed of a metro train?

Delhi Metro’s average speed? Forty-five kilometers per hour. Sounds glacial compared to my commute – a greased lightning bolt on a scooter, dodging auto-rickshaws like a ninja. Seriously though, 45 km/h? That’s barely faster than a determined snail on espresso.

• Broad gauge lines (Red, Blue, Yellow): 1,676 mm – feels like a railway tycoon’s extravagant whim.
• Standard gauge (rest): 1,435 mm – a more sensible, less ostentatious choice. Like my choice of coffee – black, no nonsense.
• Top speed: 120 km/h – only achieved on a good day, I imagine, when the cosmic alignment is just right.

Think of it this way: a cheetah sprints at 110 km/h. The Delhi Metro? Well, let’s just say it’s more of a determined tortoise in a stylish uniform. But hey, at least it’s reliable – unlike my internet connection. That’s a speed of approximately zero when I need to upload a video of my cat, Mittens, attempting parkour. It’s a personal tragedy, really.

Remember that 25 kV, 50 Hz AC overhead catenary? Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel I read in 2023 – “Electrifying Adventures of a Tiny Robot” – pure genius, though far from my personal taste in fiction.

This whole metro thing? Efficient, yes, but utterly lacking in the thrilling sense of danger my daily commute provides. I’ll stick to my scooter, thanks. At least I can reach 80 km/h… when the traffic cooperates.

How fast are the regular trains in Japan?

Man, Japan’s bullet trains, the Shinkansen, are seriously fast. I took the Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka in 2023. The scenery was breathtaking, especially around Mount Fuji. It felt like we were flying!

That was a long ride, though. I remember feeling cramped in my seat after a while. My legs were killing me.

The speed was insane. The official speed is 285 km/h, but it felt way faster. The whooshing sound, the smooth acceleration… it was unbelievable.

Next time, I’m taking the Tohoku Shinkansen to Aomori. 320 km/h! That’s nuts. It will be a much shorter trip to see the beautiful north of Japan. I’ll need to book well in advance, though. These trains sell out fast!

Here’s what I remember about Shinkansen speeds from my 2023 trip:

• Tokaido Shinkansen: 285 km/h. Amazing views. Uncomfortable after a few hours.
• Sanyo Shinkansen: Heard it goes 300km/h. I haven’t been on this one yet.
• Tohoku Shinkansen: Aiming for this one next year. 320 km/h! So excited!
• Kyushu Shinkansen: Slightly slower, 260 km/h. Still super fast.

Seriously considering a Japan Rail Pass next time. It’ll save a fortune. These trains are expensive, even for a single trip!

What is the top speed of the London Tube?

Sixty miles per hour. That’s the top speed of the London Tube. It feels… restricted. Like potential unfulfilled.

I wonder what it would be like to go faster.

• It’s a safety measure, they say. Makes sense, I guess. Cramped tunnels, packed trains.

• The Metropolitan, yeah, and the Northern lines too. Longer stretches, room to breathe, almost. My old commute. I remember the brief, exhilarating moments as it picked up speed. Before slamming on the brakes.

The Metropolitan line. I always felt a little rush out near Amersham. My nan lived there, you know.

• Suburban escapes. Fleeting moments of almost-freedom. Before the next stop. Before returning to the city. Before reality hit again.

It is sad, isn’t it? Only 60 mph.
