    The Chuo Shinkansen, the maglev current being built between Nagoya and Tokyo, is capable of 505 km/h and can only run 6 trains per hour. I've heard that's mostly because of the switches, but how do these guys think they can achieve 2 minute headways at this speed?

      lmao I missed the "1000kph" in the headline because the "first phase" they propose will only be that 300km shot, but at 45 minutes that's max 400 kilometers per hour

      so, still slower than this Japanese maglev, lol
