Gautrain on the rails?

what - that looks damn ugly on that pic

I need a bigger pic to judge more accurately though....
 
We need bullet train routes across the country which in theory should be more economical and faster than flying.

I wonder if they will attempt to break the SA speed record (245km/h) in the gautrain just out of interest sake although it's max rated speed is not quite close enough.

They been testing for a few months now, a friend of mine whos an engineer for them had to find out why parts of the track broke a wheel of the train.... seemed some parts were not welded together properly...
