I think this speed is just for headlines, morjority of trains on the line run at 250km/h, because it's a lot cheaper than running them at 350km/h.

Sounds about right. The Shanghai maglev works this way, as an example, travelling at 430kph a few times per day then 300kph the rest: http://www.smtdc.com/en/jszl1_2.html
