		Anyone who has heard of the Shinkansen, would probably think of this type, which was the first one built for the opening of the new line in 1964, and whose front was patterned on the nose of the DC series airliners of the day.
		The 200 series entered service on the Tohoku Shinkansen in 1982, and whilst the design was similar to the 0 series, modifications were made to suit the colder environments it ran in.

		Series 300 and 700 trains standardised operating performance and seating layout for a 16-car train-set and can therefore be applied to all three classes of service: express (Nozomi), limited stop (Hikari), and stopping (Kodama).
		Kasai explained in a speech to the Japan Transport Association that the possibilities of running at 300km/h on the Tokaido Shinkansen are extremely limited due to a multitude of relatively sharp curves and the fact that the line passes through densely-populated areas.
		Combined with the new Series N700 trains in 2007, the journey time between Tokyo and Osaka will be cut by a further five to 10 minutes or the same 2h 30min journey time as today but with two extra stops at Shinagawa and Shin-Yokohama.

		With the first stage of the Kyushu Shinkansen due to open next year, it will be interesting to see if JR Kyushu is able to mix style and speed; from the information I've seen so far, it looks like they may well succeed.
		The seats are upholstered in the soothing colours and 'natural' designs of traditional Nishijin brocade- again, very different to the businesslike interior of the other Shinkansen- and there are JR Kyushu's trademark design touches all the way through the train.
		When I travel by Shinkansen, I've always got the feeling that speed is first and foremost, with the enjoyment of the journey a distant second, but with the Tsubame, there seems to be at least an equal emphasis on making the journey itself a memorable experience.
