NOTE: I just want your inputs. This has nothing to do whether the person is from HK or in western countries. Just something to get opinions on this incident and individual, not the country.

How can kodama/hikari/nozomi Shinkansen trains run on the same track without crashing into each other?

Potential answerers will know the following info, but I'm including it so that curious readers will know what we're talking about...

Basically, there are three services on the Tokaido Shinkansen (the main high-speed line in Japan): Kodama, Hikari and Nozomi. Kodama stops at all stations en route, Hikari stops at important stations, and Nozomi only serves the largest cities.

All three services run on the same line, but Nozomi can complete the Tokyo-Nagoya journey in 1.5 hours whereas Kodama takes almost 3 hours.

So my question is... how can they run on the same track without crashing into each other?

There are similar track-sharing patterns in Europe, but the headway between trains is longer. For example, there are 2 trains per hour between London and Manchester, but up to 13 per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya!!

Born canadian, white male, 26... with more then desireable credentials.Is not knowing Cantonese going to hinder my chances of finding work. I;ve traveled to HK 3 times, staying for 1 to 2 months each time. but living there would be different.

Do you know any famous person in the Philippines who have died recently (from year 2000 to present)?

As I was searching for news about Philippine actors/actresses, I came across a forum discussing about "artista na namatay na." I did not know some of the artista they have mentioned have died already. So that is why I am asking this question.
