Could you believe people were travelling at a speed of 285 km/h (177 mph) 60 years ago?
EDIT: I made a mistake! The maximum speed of 285 km/h belongs to the modern trains which are used today. The first generation of Shinkansen reached 210 km/h (130 mph) instead, which is still very fast but not as crazy as I first thought.
I’ve been on those trains and it’s just breathtaking how well everything works. It still feels like travelling in the 60s i guess - with lots of space and all the other comforts one should have …
