Common questions

Maglev or conventional high-speed rail?


Maglev trains are another possibility for The Korean and Abrahamic Schools.  The only train with regular passenger service so far is the Shanghai maglev, but others are being proposed in Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, and elsewhere in China, such as between Shanghai and the city of Hangzhou.  The proposed UK line is the longest one on any drawing board; it would stretch from London to Edinburgh and Glascow.  The existing Shanghai train reaches 430 km/hr, the top speed on a daily basis for the proposed Shanghai-Hangzhou line would be 450 km/hr, and the experimental Japanese maglev train has attained a maximum speed of 581 km/hr.

Unlike conventional high-speed trains, maglev trains utilize electromagnetic force.  They are much faster but their costs are higher, so it is unclear whether this greater cost would be offset by the time-saving benefits of a quicker trip.
