London to Birmingham in 25 minutes
We can always put some faster trains on down the line
I got a return 90mile train for £15 in Switzerland lmao
Just drive tbh
The issue with high speed trains is, you need straight tracks
Which our old tracks weren't
Hence don't support "high speed" rail
No, the solution is to have state owned routes, which aren't so customer facing, and then have decent competition _on those rotutes_
HS2 would provide that infrastructure
Meaning we could run faster trains in the future
Also it is Switzerland that is a sperg country about being punctual, not Germany
Know the different
So that the infrastructure lasts longer..
They need to just commit to HS2 or scrap it, this half arsing gets nowhere
Just learn to drive <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
Half arsing the conservative name of the game
They need to go all the way on it
@Weez Not just straight-ish tracks, you need an entirely different support under those tracks too
Yeah, you're right
To not pay £60-£82 for a train would be a start
Then take them into public ownership 😉
60-82 how far?
You see, the conventional tracks can be laid in the mud, and slow train will go through
Fast train needs a 100% solid gravel padding that does not move
the distance is kinda important
Tolerances are much tighter as well
And hence the cost
To develop and implement it
>not going cereal, bowl, milk
Smh
Fast trains inflict so much force on the ground when they pass over, that it is equivalent of a train just falling onto these tracks, albeit somewhat gently
Main cost of fast trains in not even in the trains
It's the equipment to upkeep the rails
>falls on tracks
UWU
what are we gonna do on these tracks
True
Nah, @JackH670. Cereal, Bowl, Spoon.
not what ur mum said
@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck did I stutter
