A bullet train is a high-speed passenger train that could move at the speed ranging from 100 kilmoteres up to 430 kilometres per hour. It plays an important part in certain country’s economy such as Japan and always used in long-distance journey. With the high-speed operation, it is weird to see that one bullet train station in India practise no safety at all. Look at the video below and you’ll find out why.
See the man and the woman almost getting hit by the bullet train? whoa..That scared the hell out of me.. Imagine a kid trying to cross and suddenly got his foot stuck in the middle. Death will be the answer …and fencing up the railway should be the best solution in my opinion.

We read in the news that Lalu would emulate the Japan’s bullet train in India. Lets get the opinion of the feasibility of having bullet train from our own expert railways officals before asking some Japan’s firm to take this up.
1. There should be total fencing for the entire corridor and is it possible in India
2. Does Indian landscape and tracks support such a system.
3. Does it need to have separate track and what would be the cost of it
