The 500 Series {Shinkansen}, the latest version of the bullet trains developed by West Japan Railway Company, started services with one round trip a day between Shin-osaka and Hakata in March 1997. In November that year, the operation was expanded to a practical level: the service distance was extended to connect between Tokyo and Hakata and the number of runs was increased. The 500 Series has attained the world's fastest operating speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), which equals the TGV of France, and it travels between Tokyo and Hakata in four hours and fifty minutes, 15 minutes shorter than the previous 300 Series does. It also recorded the fastest average operating speed between two stations, and thus edged ahead of the TGV in this ranking.
