Iberians doing Lisbon-Madrid in 10 hourshttps://preview.redd.it/qybvtcxjlbrd1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fa418321fb00e562d0b8822fb6bce71e80fab4e
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.

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.

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.
