Japan has started testing its fastest-ever bullet train. It's capable of reaching 249 mph.
Once it enters operation sometime around 2030, it will run at speeds of up to 360 kph , comfortably making it the world's fastest bullet train.
It'll be tested on the line between the cities of Sendai and Aomori, which are about 280 kilometers apart as the crow flies. Tests will take place after midnight, when the line is quiet, and will occur twice a week. That model will enter operation in 2020, but its maximum speeds of 300 kph -- the same as other N700 series trains -- will be easily surpassed by the ALFA-X.
