      Incoming “europoors have to get the train” comments.

      idc. german trains are always delayed so even though the trains are faster you still end up waiting at the train station.

      I can’t see the recently inaguruated Berlin-Frankfurt-Paris high speed line. I think the first trains have started in February

      – Europe: **9,600 km** of rail lines at 240 km/h or more
      – United States: **60-70 km** of rail lines at 240 km/h or more

      But don’t worry hyperloop is coming lol

      There should at least be high speed in the northeast sector incorporating Boston, CT’s coastal cities, NY, and down the beltway to DC, Philly, and Baltimore. As well as up and down the west coast.

      I think some EU lines are missing, isnt there a connection from Barcelona to France?

      American freight shifts come to mind that are kilometres long

      Well, the two tracks in Austria might potentially allow speed over 250, yet I have never seen more than 235.

      Which is still very cool.

      They should totally make a connection under the Pyrenees.

      Lisbon needs some love. I want a Port-to-Lisbon line and a Lisbon-to-Madrid line

      In the late 80’s there was an idea of making another network over here to connect the main cities.

      They are taking their time.

      This is not a win for the EU. It is just a shitshow for the US.

      The map still shows how deeply single-country-centric the high speed lines in Europe are (but also trains in general), you cannot cross even a single border on high speed rail. We need to do be better.

      Pfft. Both are **weak**. You want to see high speed rail? Look at China’s. 

      By the end of this year, China will have **50,000km** of high speed rail, some up to 380kmh. Over double that of Europe, and all built in the last couple decades. 

      The U.S. is a lost cause, and Europe is stuck in time patting itself on its back while China is barreling ahead.

      Now comapare those to Taiwan, China, and Japan.

      Europe and the U.S. is no different. ULCC carriers of RyanAir, Wizz, Baltic, Pegasus (Europe) and Frontier, Spirit, Avalon (US) have made air travel the cheap and fast standard mode of travel.

      You get stuck on German rail then comment if you should have flown instead.

      In about 2210 the UK should also have HS2 from London to just outside London.

    24. Lakuriqidites on

      When it comes to the high speed trains, Europe should aim to compete with China not a car centric country like the US. 

    25. reallyjustaperson123 on

      nice nice, but what about literally every other type of rail?

    26. Trebhum on

      Now show china and japan and we see how much europe can do better
