#1 Hmm. The bullet trains near here top out at like 258kph, so I hope we're not affected. I'm taking one next week! Used to be a 3 1/2 hour car trip over bumpy ass roads full of unsafe trucks. Now it's 100 minutes of comfort.

IMO they're slowing the trains down as a safety precaution - not an easy thing for the CPC to do considering all the hoopla as per PARTY, NATIONAL PRESTIGE linked to its development.
