Part 6: Bullet Train
Richard Hammond reveals the surprising engineering connections between Japan's Bullet Train, the
world's first high-speed train, and ancient charioteers, a crowbar, a medieval clock, the electric
telegraph and a 19th-century luxury racing car. Nearly fifty years old, the Bullet Train is still
pioneering new high-speed technology. Richard builds his own train to show how engineers reinvented
the train wheel to prevent it violently shaking at its top speeds of close to 200mph (300kph).
