A new high-speed train arrives in Shanghai yesterday. Each of the four trains that pulled into town has eight cars - the first and last shaped like a bullet. The trains will travel between 200 and 250 kilometers an hour when speeds are raised in April on the route linking Beijing and Shanghai, cutting two hours off the present 12-hour trip. - Shanghai Daily
