China's CR450 bullet train hits 453 km/h in speed trials

China's CR450 train hit 453 km/h during pre-service trials, surpassing its CR400 predecessor's 420 km/h and outpacing Deutsche Bahn's 405 km/h test record. Despite the impressive figure - particularly for British rail travelers eyeing autumn leaves nervously - operational speed will be 400 km/h, and 600,000 km of testing remains before passenger service begins. State-backed mouthpiece Science and Technology Daily (STD) called the CR450 "the world's fastest" electric multiple unit (EMU).
