India starts work on Japanese bullet train that will fire people across the country at incredible speed

India has started building a super-fast bullet train that will fire people across the country. When it is finished in 2022, a journey will drop from eight hours to three hours. Japan is helping to construct the high-speed train that will fire people the 310 miles between Ahmadabad, the main commercial city in Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's native state, to India's financial capital of Mumbai. As well as offering help and expertise, Japan has helped finance the project by lending money at a cheap rate to India. That collaboration was reflected by the laying of a foundation stone by Mr Modi and and Japanese leader Shinzo Abe, commemorating an institute that will train about 4,000 people to actually make the high-speed train.
