I went on a train in Germany that went 300km/h. It was absolutely awesome. I didnt even know I was going that fast until I looked outside and then looked at the information screen which shows the speed.

if i go on it one day i would wear my sunnies and sitting back watching the french countryside go by at 300K/mh i might go from Paris to Marselle 1 best TGV train to go on is the TGV Duplex (double-decker)

There won't be any train like this in Australia for a long, long time (if ever). So go for it if you get the chance.

Just back from Shanghai today. Rode the MagLev train from the Shanghai metro to Pu Dong Airport. The train has no wheels or direct contact with the tracks, all done by Magnetic fields. You travel 30 km in less than 8 minutes, with peak speed of 431 Km/h, repeat 4 3 1. Looking out at the freeway nearby it looked like the cars and trucks were parked, except that it is a 120 km/h zone. Super quiet and a real adrenaline rush, but so smooth it felt really safe. Took some video on my mobile phone when we were doing about 365, if I can work out how to post it on Youtube, I'll set up a link.
Cost 50 Yuan for the one way trip, which is about 8 Aussie Dollars. Go figure.
