>While China, with a maglev train hitting 650 km/h in just seven seconds, might regard the achievement as cute, it is a milestone for Germany, where exceeding 300 km/h on the rail network is rare.
>The UK had its own attempt at going beyond traditional rail in the 1960s and the early 1970s with the Hovertrain, but the project was cancelled in 1973.
>France pushed a steel-wheeled TGV to a record 574.8 km/h in 2007, yet the German achievement will inject a dose of pride into the country’s beleaguered network, once an icon of efficiency.
Meanwhile I’m crying in Romanian, where exceeding 100 km/h on the national rail network is almost unheard of.
Even for a test run, 405km/h is a hell of a fast train
405 km/h for 5 minutes, after that 5 hours delay. DB.
Amazing but i hope the safety is still the priority, id rather be on safer 100km/h than 400km/h
That would be nice if only Deutsche Bahn could weather proof signals, for instance. What’s the point of such fast trains when a slight rain throws the trains into chaos?
Counterintuitive information: European train makers/rail networks could definitely get trains going as fast as the Chinese ones but it’s not what they are after. Their goal is to have profitable high speed trains, as in a HS trains that are finding the sweet spots between speed, energy consumption and rail maintenance needs.
I lowkey wonder how many faxes and registered letters were needed to be sent before this try.
Great Erfurt by the Germans! Good job!
dont give a fuck, shit gets delayed anyway
After being delayed by 3 hours…
We need an EU Railway Commission 🙏🚂👀
Beat that, Americans
Nevertheless you **WILL** get Deutsche Bahn’d
Right now, the highest speeds of trains in actual commercial operation (excluding Maglev) are 350 km/h. These trains are all found in China, as well as in Indonesia, where the system was also built by China.

Deutsche Bahn has a huge backlog of repairs and upgrades so it is nice to see positive news some times.
Still not on time
Did everyone miss the point that they’re still using windows 3.1? 😩
it’s amazing what running late does to your pressure of making up for lost time..
I mean. for all school children we call it a normal part of procrastination. but i guess for DB this is a milestone..
But then it started to rain, so the train was delayed for two hours. /s
Of course quite impressive but I would rather have Deutsche Bahn focusing on making the daily travel experience less of a nightmare – delays, cancelled trains, cancelled seat reservations, no service on trains…
Germany simply doesn’t need such a high speed system like China
Germany is Alot smaller than China and the goal of our rail system is not to only connect Berlin, Hamburg and Munich but also smaller cities that don’t even get any recognition in China
You can’t drive 600kmh when you need to stop 70km later again already
I still think we should’ve stick with the steam locomotive. Much better than those new electric ones!
