Highest capacity?

edit

Two eight-car sets can be coupled together for extra capacity: a sixteen-car E4 series formation trainset carries a total of 1,634 seated passengers - the highest-capacity high-speed rail trainset in the world.[1] 26 units were built between 1997 and 2003. As with the earlier E1 series trains,maximum speed is 240 km/h. If they are onlu capable of 240km/h then they ARE NOT true High Speed Trains ... if trains under 250km/h are considered high speed then there are other trains with greater capacity.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.132.10.158 (talkcontribs) 00:46, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Can anyone tell me why the E4 series Shinkansen replaces 200 series and the E1 series? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talkcontribs) 23:38, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
