volution of High-Speed Trains (1964–2026) – From 210 km/h to 603 km/h

On 1 October 1964, a white train with a round nose left Tokyo at 210 km/h and changed travel forever. Watch 62 years of high-speed trains morph into each other – from the first Japanese bullet train to floating maglevs and the 400 km/h trains of today. The TGV's 574.8 km/h world record, the kingfisher-nosed Shinkansen, the Channel Tunnel Eurostar, China's giant network, and the L0 maglev that floats at 603 km/h – every generation in one video. 🚄 In this video: 1964 Shinkansen 0 Series • 1976 InterCity 125 • 1981 TGV Sud-Est • 1985 Shinkansen 100 Series • 1988 Transrapid 07 • 1989 TGV Atlantique • 1991 ICE 1 • 1992 Shinkansen 300 Series • 1994 Eurostar e300 • 1996 Thalys PBKA • 1997 Shinkansen 500 Series • 1999 Shinkansen 700 Series • 2000 ICE 3 • 2000 Acela Express • 2004 Shanghai Transrapid • 2007 TGV V150 • 2007 Shinkansen N700 • 2010 CRH380A • 2011 Shinkansen E5 • 2013 Shinkansen E6 • 2015 L0 Series Maglev • 2015 Frecciarossa 1000 • 2017 CR400AF Fuxing • 2019 ALFA-X • 2025 Avelia Liberty • 2026 CR450 Which train is your favourite?
