287km/h?

That is actually a dangerous speed for a land based transportation.

My opinion though, b4 some over sabi astronauts start their unsolicited lectures.
677km/h already tested. Probably it's operational sef

This amazing footage shows what it's really like to be in the driver's seat of a high-speed train travelling at 287km/h. At that kind of speed, same-day return trips to and from any part of the Nigeria can be guaranteed if we have the modern high-speed trains and rails.


The bolded is misleading.

In the video, 287km was covered in 1 minute. So, it is either the video is quickened or the "speedometer" on the video is not correct. In a nutshell, the video is not what it's really like to be in the driver's seat...

Can your PMB read a contract? He will sign 28.7kmph thinking he has signed for 287kmph.

That illiterate from Daura, forget him. China will make him sign the sale of Nigeria. Let him go and be the president of miyetti allah

This amazing footage shows what it's really like to be in the driver's seat of a high-speed train travelling at 287km/h. At that kind of speed, same-day return trips to and from any part of the Nigeria can be guaranteed if we have the modern high-speed trains and rails.

The footage was captured on a journey between Hangzhou and Huangshan in China. The countries 19,000 kilometres (11,806 miles) of high-speed rail (HSR) is currently the longest HSR network in the world while its 131,000 km (81,400 mi) of railways is the second longest network behind US.

I don't get it , the video took 1 minute 26 secs to complete a 287km journey that would mean the train was actually travelling at 11972km/h

Don't really think so. Notice how the train slows down for safety reasons when passing through non-stop stations.

Planes speed 700km/h and it's not as crazy as this.
This speed you recorded is approximately 287 * 60 = 17220km/h

Exactly!

That's suicidal. Even a tiny pebble will derail the train and that will be too bad.

Our rulers won't copy good things from the developed countries that they do go everytime. Instead they think backward and celebrate their mediocre performance. They still expect us to applaud them. Naija rulers are devil

The video was fast forwarded. Look at how quickly it came to a stop at the end. No way a train going that fast can come to a stop that quickly. Law of inertia people.

This speed you recorded is approximately 287 * 60 = 17220km/h

You re mixing up your maths. If the 287km/hr it means it will take 1hr to cover 287km. This video is about 90 seconds long. So the supposed distance travelled during the cause of the video is 287km × 90 sec/3600 sec = about 7km. (If you exclude time wasted in accelerating)

But I have a feeling the video was fast forwarded because the distance between Hangzhou and Huangshan is about 212km which would take close to an hour to complete with the supposed speed of the train.
