I have used for years 1990 to 2001 when in Asia ( 6 to 8 times per year 3 weeks per trip) the 'bullet train' as in Japan, South Korea and PR China. Very popular with persons to move city centre to city centre. They are more popular now. They have full internet speeds (better than I get at home) and I still correspond with my agent in China while he is on train. (It is easy time to discuss matters as he has no office pressures at that time) High Speed Trains depend on the local geography distance between technical/commercial centres. Sweet spot is 200 to 500 miles being easier than aircraft, and for overnight travel 800 to 1100 miles. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
