Don't tease me with that photo of an N700, SBS. We already know Australian high speed rail won't be like that. For example, from the article:
"trains would need to slow to around 200km/h inside these tunnel sections."
Why are the media just repeating this factoid from the business case without questioning it? Why will trains slow from 320 km/h to 200 km/h in tunnels? Shinkansen don't do that, they don't slow down for tunnels at all. Why are we preemptively hamstringing the whole network by designing down to a tunnel speed limit of 200 km/h? It's not a minor point, most of the initial Newcastle to Sydney line and much of the subsequent expansion would be in tunnels so this has a big impact on achievable journey times.

That YouTube channel seems to post a lot of coupling content. Even this compilation of Shinkansen in the snow has 6 minutes of trains with their couplers out in the middle.

I feel that this 8 minute video of E5 and E6 Shinkansen coupling with each other is very Mastodon content. It's racy stuff.

Le tchoutchou du jour : Shiiiinkansen — https://bonjourtchoutchou.fr/2026/05/06/

Encore du #ShinkansenPosting!
@R1Rail est parti au Japon en mars, et évidemment, il a croisé le Shinkansen ! Plus précisément, 2 rames N700 du Tōkaidō Shinkansen qui se croisent au niveau de la gare de Yūrakuchō à Tokyō. La gare de Tokyō est à quelques centaines de mètres sur la droite.
On dirait qu'elles ne font qu'un seul train !

I am not a religious man, but I could get on board with Shinkansen worship.

Struggling to work out some issues with my code, so I'm going to try some Rubber Duck Debugging.
I don't have a rubber duck handy though, so I'm going to explain my code to Doctor Yellow here. They're the right colour, and their front end is kind of duck bill shaped, so I figure it should work.

No, *you're* obsessively editing your photos of railway station signage to turn them into custom t-shirt designs.
