Wow, with so much taxpayer money, you think they'll at least be able to be better than Portugal

In Italy they can be quick but they are never on time.

Ever heard of a thing called the goddamn Alps and the motherf*cking Carpathians?

Obsessed. Why would you focus on England when they're are much worse speeds on that map.

It’s probably because of terrain

>slowtugal

Nobody uses it and thus it has to be mantained through taxing the people who don't give a shit about it and never use it

Fuck, our trains are fast and relatively cheap and I've never used it

AAAAAAAAA I WANT A TRANSCONTINENTAL HIGH-SPEED RAIL FUCK THE INTERSTATE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This, abolish the (((public transit))), it’s a Jewish plot anyway

Hyperloop when?

They should take into account how often in the middle of nowhere our trains start moving at the breakneck speed of 0 km/hour

>wanting to go fast in a beautiful country filled with amazing natural landscapes
yeah, no, fuck sp*Ed

They really need to modernise HŽ
currently they're keeping it on life support because few people use trains due to how old the tracks are. This is a stupid situation. Modernise it, or let it die.

Yeah, don't listen to him. Our high speed network works fine but many stupid people in Spain think that we have spent too much in high speed rail
The problem with the old spanish railways is that they were designed for steam trains in the late XIX century
Spain needed to pretty much redo our entire railway infrastructure from scratch. It wasn't just about putting new rails, but creating new pathways and digging tunnels. So in the 80's government decided that since we had to redo it anyway, it was a good idea to spend 20-30% more and do it ready for high-speed
It is also completely false that nobody is using it. Despite of all the stupid opposition to high speed rail, and all the FAKE NEWS predicting that it's only for rich people and nobody would ever use it, what is actually happening is that we are beating our passenger records every year, because for first time in our history we actually have a decent rail network.
And there are a lot of low hanging opportunities to increase train traffic that are being prepared for the next years.

>netherland and belgium
aren't they flat as fuck they could invest in some high speed train

I could literally outrun Albanian trains

I use the train almost every day.

Based high speed chads

What do you guys think about this albanian train?

Only if you live in a shithole

kek, I had a turtle like that once, threw it into the forest 4 days ago

Wouldn't Austria be a greater source of criticism then?

wow that post was very informative than you very much

Got one in me garden

Britain has somehow a bad reputation (compared to other countries) when it comes to their trains. Probably because they privatized it and it scares people.

yep, it's this. not even possible to compare countries without factoring in population density and density of large cities

>72.9
What the fuck are you on about the average train goes at about 40km/h on a good day

Yes, Italy

You're a fucking retard.

Our train system became much more efficient after we privatised it, it was so bloated before

>tfw our government sold all the shitty slow trains to Latvia

I really wonder how this is calculated. Is it the price that passengers pay for their tickets? Is it the cost of maintaining the railway network? is it the budget of the ÖBB? Does it include the tremendous cost of constructing things like the Brenner Base Tunnel or the Koralm tunnel?

>tfw our government bought old trains from switzerland
LITERALLY the switzerland of the balkans prove me wrong

had to be done anyway, she was living in hell before I send her to the wild. Tried my best to find a suitable environment

he max speeds in the Netherlands are to prevent accidents, as we try to maximize the amount of trains we can put on our rails.

And the distances are also fairly small. There are a lot of stop trains that stop every 5 minutes. And if they have to travel a long distance they probably arrive within 20 minutes anyway.

We have the busiest train track in Europe.

devilish

We do have a high speed train that goes from Amsterdam to Rotterdam to Brussels to Paris though.

0.5

Because Austria is mountainous while England is flat and invented trains in the first place

>Slowtugal

> The word "train" comes from the Old French trahiner

French master raçe

Ours is far less subsidised than the rest of yours though, so only those using it actually pay. The general taxpayer pays less.

Which is dwarfed by the huge number of local trains that bring down the average.
Basically dark green countries just have no regional trains. Which makes sense for France and Spain since the countryside is literally deserted wasteland. Kinda wonder about Italy though, I thought they were more sprawled.

I wouldn't be posting here if we didn't have electricity

>tfw trainlet

I meant in a god forgotten 1k people rural town

I'm sure Finland's national railway company is the most overpriced and least competent in Europe

It should be sold to private investors for cheap, but not before making large infrastructure improvements.

Never ever. Don't trust Elon Musk's grifts.
He would sooner start digging Tesla-patented tunnels for singular cars than dabble in mass transit.

I envy having trains.

Why did you get a turtle in the first place you dumb fuck

I don't even think we have trains.

I've had this image saved for years for some reason and never used it.

Until now. Thanks user.

Nothing surprising. It ought to be readily obvious that as heavy industry leaves the country, so too does the need for supporting infrastructure.

>Privatise infrastructure that everyone benefits from, whether they know it or not

This makes me sad in my pants.

its cute at least

Despite how old railways are in Egypt(first railways in the middle east, africa and the ottoman empire***), theyre shit nowadays. Its honestly because its used by people from small towns and villages who work in far cities(a third of Egypt) and trains arent really used by the higher classes.

For example, it costs something like 4-7 LE to travel from where I live(a small city in the northern nile delta) to Alexandria. However, its 17 LE if im using a bus(which is objectively better and more comfortable)

***We technically werent part of the ottomans at the time the first railway was constructed(1854), we were a fully autonomous khedivate

nothing wrong with privatized train lines. it just depends on how you privatize it. japans train system is private and works perfectly. ours was privatized as a disfunctional monopolic company and only barely works.

Slow trains are rustic. I bet the carriages are super cute too and everything is made of ornately carved wood
