For your reference:
The Shinkansen network: 「しんかんせん」 : 「新幹線」 is a network of high speed trains in Japan. Shinkansen literally means "new trunk line" in Japanese.
They are more commonly known as "bullet trains" : "dangan ressha" : 「弾丸列車」 : 「だんがんれっしや」 , with speeds of upto 320 kilometres per hour.

Though particles are often dropped in conversation, it is not common to say Shinkansen Kippu(新幹線切符). Shinkansen no Kippu(新幹線の切符) is much better.
