High Speed Rail. News. Images. Comparisons.
Ever since I took bullet trains non-stop in my trip to Japan, I have always been fascinated with high speed rail. I have been taken the Electrified Track System (ETS) and while the speed is nowhere near a bullet train but it’s super comfortable and thus far, on time most of the time. It’s unlike the situation when I drive. There are many potential delays, possibilities and more. Plus the fact that I may also feel sleepy when I drive which is dangerous too!
Now, let’s have some updates about High-Speed Rail operations.
One country leads the world by far… It’s China.
What has happened between 2008 and 2020? It’s a WOW in China.

Malaysia’s High-Speed Rail?
It’s ongoing I think? I mean ongoing as in talking about it between both countries. Nothing has been agreed, nothing has been signed yet. High Speed Rail (HSR) KL – SG… really coming back. By the way all would also depend on whether the governments who signed the next deal remain the same too yeah. Too many times everyone has a different idea about what works and what does not. All the best.
