'Next-generation' Shinkansen model on display

HAMAMATSU, Japan - A new Shinkansen model, the ''next-generation'' N-700 Series, on display in a press preview at the JR Tokai Hamamatsu plant in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecutre on April 10.

The N-700 Series, which will run in the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen line, can speed through curves at a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour in the Tokaido sector and 300 kph in the Sanyo sector, they say. As a result, the N-700 Series can travel between Tokyo and the Shin-Osaka station in Osaka in 2 hours and 25 minutes, down 5 minutes, and between Tokyo and the Hakata station in Fukuoka in 4 hours and 50 minutes.
