Question

How many trains go 500 miles per hour?

Answer 1

None. In Britain the maximum speed is 125 m.p.h.; the famous French TGV travels at 186 m.p.h. Aeroplanes may go

at 500 m.p.h. but their polluting nature is a great problem,

and a train is usually a faster way of travelling between cities up to 300 miles apart because it takes you from city centre to city centre rather than depositing you at an airport 18 miles outside the city, and you do not have to arrive 90 minutes before departure to check in and go through security.

Answer 4

There are no trains that travel at 500 mph. The fastest stop-to-stop speed anywhere in the world is by TGV5422, the 11.56 Strasbourg-Lille Europe, which covers the 167.6km (104.1 miles) between Lorraine TGV and Champagne Ardennes in 36 minutes which represents  an average speed of 279.3kph (173.5mph). The world-breaking speeds which are widely publicised are only obtained on special high speed runs.
