Then you will have a frustrated partner. Japanese are pretty punctual. India should shake off the image of "habitual delay".

Such crazy pursuit for punctuality without considering the reality has led to some of the most deadly train accidents like Amagasaki rail crash(107 deaths)

From photos above, it seems that CRH350, the standardised Chinese multiple units will be used.
Or perhaps the CRH250 version of CRH350?

Thanks for the Pictures, bro @AndrewJin

This is very Good news.
I cannot wait to feel High Speed Train ride to Bandung City I am really Glad that Our Goverment choose China for Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail Project, China is more Experienced in Tropical Climate High Speed Rail.
Japan doesn't have that experience.
Right know, I can feel more Safer.

Hope our Goverment choose 'the golden one'

U prefer China North Railway product over China South Railway?
As far as I know, this CSR blue train has better interior design than CNR golden train.
Anyway, the standards are the same, any component is replaceable.

First, some common elements.

Yes, I prefer CNR Golden Train than CSR Blue Train.
From Exterior, I think CNR Golden Train is more Elegant than the Blue one.

Thanks so much for Interior Pictures, bro @AndrewJin
Very Nice Indeed.

Btw, why u say Interior in Blue one is better than Golden one?
What I see is not much different, almost same.
And honestly, I prefer Wooden Stylish in CNR Golden Train. lol

The train will be made in Indonesia actually as part of transfer of tech arrangement. The plant has been made in East Java if i recall. The interior design will had Indonesian style

 

[Sandria]

Maybe only the body fabricated in Indonesia, while the bogie and drive train fabricated in China.

Judging from the way they conduct business there, I don't think their project will even get started by the time the Indonesia HSR is up and running.

It will still be a good starting point. Indonesia has many more HSR projects on the drawing board, so the manufacturing capacity will increase along the way. Indonesians are very diligent people. If you could manage to get N250 up in the sky, you can get your own HSR running on the tracks.
