October 1st 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen, the world’s first high speed line.

To celebrate, I have created a few new posts for my blog – https://trainstobeyond.com/



The main one is about a trip I made along the line recently, getting off at all the original stations – https://trainstobeyond.com/2024/09/04/2024-japan-bullet-at-60/

Also included is an attempt at a brief history of how the line came about - https://trainstobeyond.com/the-new-tokaido-line/

A bit on the history of the timetables - https://trainstobeyond.com/tokaido-shinkansen-timetable/

And a very rough overview of the fleet history - https://trainstobeyond.com/fleet-history/

Hope someone finds this interesting.

Feedback, especially corrections, is always more than welcome !

Either here or via the contact page on the blog itself.

Best Wishes
