high speed train service latest version

Japan has started testing the latest version of its high-speed bullet train.

Each new generation of Shinkansen, as it’s known locally, brings with it a design even more dazzling than the one that came before

The Class E956 , branded ALFA-X is a ten-car experimental Shinkansen train operated by East Japan Railway Company  in Japan to test technology to be incorporated into future shinkansen trains operating in service at speeds of up to 360 kilometre per hour. The name is an acronym for "Advanced Labs for Frontline Activity in rail eXperimentation". The first train was unveiled on May 9, 2019.

The ALFA-X version of the Shinkansen train began three years' worth of test runs on Friday. Once it enters operation sometime around 2030, it will run at speeds of up to 360 kph (224 mph), comfortably making it the world's fastest bullet train
