Bullet trains ready to lay on the speed

Bullet train trips between Beijing and Shanghai will get faster from Sept 21 when Fuxing bullet trains run at 350 kilometers per hour, bringing passengers in China the world's fastest commercial trains, China Railway Corp said on Sunday.

Fourteen Fuxing bullet trains will serve passengers on the 1,318-km Beijing-Shanghai line starting on Sept 21, reducing the travel time to about four and a half hours, State-owned China Railway Corp, the train's operator, said on Sunday.

Currently, the trip between the two metropolises, on one of China's busiest rail lines, takes from four hours and 49 minutes to six hours, the difference arising because of varied numbers of stops being made.
