China test-runs maglev train AFP - China's magnetic levitation train has overcome technical worries and is making test runs to Shanghai airport, state media reported Saturday. After making the 30-kilometre (18.6 miles), 8-minute trip between Shanghai's Longyang Road metro station and Pudong airport on Friday, the train returned to take those sighteseers curious about the German technology for the same ride. The train will run on Saturday and Sunday as well as during the National Day holidays between October 1 and 7. A round trip ticket costs 150 yuan ($AUD27) or 300 yuan for first class, Xinhua news agency said. The 'maglev' train was trialled at the beginning of the year to mark the Chinese New Year but had since experienced electrical problems which prevented it from running. The train, which can attain speeds of 430 kilometres per hour, is expected to be in regular service by 2004 news.ninemsn.com.au
