Today (03/04/2014) is the 7th anniversary of the current rail speed record.

Who will dare to go faster?

Youtube link to video

The record was smashed by the team efforts from Alstom, RFF and SNCF taking the speed record to 574.8km/h travelling over Tata Steel (then called Corus) rails.

The linked video shows the impressive record which still stands to this day - 7 years later a fitting tribute to their efforts

A huge technical challenge and impressive engineering.

When and where do you think the next record will be set?
