A futuristic type of new train that aims to cut journey times in half has been tested in Japan.

Capable of traveling at an astonishing 311mph, the new mag-lev train was tested in Japan this week at a track in Yamanashi Prefecture.The new high-speed mag-lev trains are due to be deployed in 2027, however the technology isn't entirely new.
