Talk:N700 Series Shinkansen

Public domain image?

I don't know whether this is the correct place to discuss it, but I very much doubt that the N700 image used on this page is copyright-free, despite what the person that uploaded it claims. It looks like an image copied from an online news report at the time the train was first unveiled to the media at Hamamatsu - hence the small size. Private individuals would not be in a position to take a photo like this. DAJF 07:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I finally got round to replacing the image previously on the page with one of my own. DAJF 10:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Window size

I noticed how the windows of this series are small and far apart from eachother, compared to in other trains of similar speed around the world. These somewhat look like those of a jet. It would be interesting to know if this was for cost reduction (possibly the material used is different as well), for look, etc. 76.10.128.192 (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Shouldn't N700S get its own article?

It's a new train. New exterior, new interior, new engine-design, etc. It is not possible to upgrade N700 or N700A sets to be functionally N700S-equivalents. The exterior is visually similar, and the name is misleading. That is all that I can see speaks to it being included.

In short, it does not belong in this article. NCLI (talk) 14:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

• Support.The N700S is a completely different vehicle from the existing N700 Series, though it is misunderstood because of its similar appearance.Articles are divided in the Japanese version.I'm sorry for my poor English. Transitmethod (talk) 21:33, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

• No objection, and barely any discussion, so I moved it. Please contribute to improve N700S Series Shinkansen. NCLI (talk) 12:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Manufacturers

I couldn't find any sources that mention J-TREC or Fuji HI / Subaru as manufacturers. To the editor on multiple IPs that insists on adding these companies without sources, please engage in this discussion and tell us where you get your information from.

The N700 Series Shinkansen is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train with tilting capability developed jointly by JR Central and JR West. It has been used on the Tokaido and San'yō Shinkansen lines since 2007. This photograph shows the train travelling at approximately 300 km/h through Himeji Station, and was captured with a line scan camera using strip photography.
