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

@ᛋᛉKLOᚢ trains run on time in Germany
> just not all trains

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

More weight, etc

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

Any small issue at those high speeds can be deadly @Uksio

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

@Mikey its milk cereal bowl smh

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

grab the milk, drink the cereal and eat the bowl
