MarineClimateLover Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My wife took the gao tie high speed train from Wuhan, where she's from, to Guangzhou for her interview. It was just about 4 hours. The fastest we hit, according to the digital display on the wall in the front of the carriage, was 309kmh. Pretty decent.

Guest ExChinaExpat Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 China set the new speed limit for the G-trains (Gao tie) to 300 kilometers per hour for safety. Before that, it was not unusal to see speeds over 350 KpH. They've done a good job keeping things safe when you consider the vast number of trains that travel the tracks every day.
