So I was saving this video for a while because it's probably the best one and a hard act to follow. It is certainly my favourite and fastest train ride ever at over 430kmph on the Shanghai MagLev from the city to the Pudong International Airport.
I have taken this journey a few times now which is how I was able to take multiple videos and stitch them together for an in-cabin view and an outside window view, picture in picture style. By paying an extra 15 bucks you can ride in the first class cabin which is often empty. Perfect for a train geek (and friend who makes a cameo) making a video.
In this video if you turn the volume up you really hear the engine and wind noise at such high speed. At 3:47 you will actually hear a bang as the windows flex and you see the return MagLev flash past at over 350kmph in the other direction. Also hear the deep harmonic winding down of the engine at 6:07 as we pull into the Pudong Airport MagLev station.
Highly recommend this to anyone who visits Shanghai.
