Can we agree on what “high-speed” means for train ? by ThatOtherFrenchGuy Tags:2 Western Europe 4u2WesternEurope4uEurope 13 comments Wait you guys get high speed rail? Let’s be real there is no way the German leg of this route is going to happen the 5h proposed. That’s cause they have to wait for wind to blow, dah Even the train doesn’t want to go to k*rlsruhe Lisbon – Madrid takes 11h and 3 trains, I aint going to shit on Germoney. Iberians doing Lisbon-Madrid in 10 hours https://preview.redd.it/qybvtcxjlbrd1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fa418321fb00e562d0b8822fb6bce71e80fab4e Is it true that Hans wants to extend the train line to Poland? To be fair, Karlsruhe-Berlin is 650km when Paris-Strasbourg is only 480km… So Hans, you’d only need to go from 5h00 to 2h30, it’s ok if you don’t reach 1h45. The important point for the german time is that this is if the train is punctual. Realistically is somewhere between 5h and 12h. DSB InterCity”lightning” takes almost three hours from Aarhus to Copenhagen. It costs just around 70€. It’s a distance of 300km by car. Why even have a discussion? The Chinese and the Japs already defined it. Berlin-Karlsruhe (as the crow flies): 526km for 105.2km/h Strasbourg-Paris: 395km for 225.7km/h But tbf, there’s like two interesting cities along that path in France. Germany has way more large cities along their route. Still ridiculous. Easy If there isn’t a single major city in between that deserves a stop. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
