Have just done the impressively fast
Shanghai Maglev: we did 431km/h (268mph) for about 90 seconds of a 7 minute 20 second journey covering 30km. Another point of excellence: the drivers were two very smart Chinese women in their twenties who looked far too glamourous to be driving one of the fastest trains in the world. As someone married to an aircraft engineer - another traditionally male job - I can only approve wholeheartedly.
