Shanghai rail protest broken up (BBC News)
 

Police in Shanghai break up protests against the extension of the city's magnetic levitation railway.

More from BBC News...

The Shanghai Maglev is very impressive. I travelled on it last summer. It took 15 mins to get out to the Airport compared to two and a half hours to get into Shanghai when we arrived.

The problem is that Shanghai already has a major trafic problem even though there are not many private cars. There is a real problem with air polution which the Magleve should help to reduce. Another major balancing act!

There is a picture of the magleve in my Gallery.

Best wishes.
