    Edmonton-Calgary High Speed Rail project advancing to proposal stage! This is needed way more than a westward oil pipeline. Announced with federal and municipal officials present.

    Request for Proposal going out soon, winning proposal to be selected by AB govt Apr 2027 and referred to the federal major projects office.

  2. In less than four hours, I'll be boarding the Acela in Penn Station. First I have to take a puddle jumper to Penn Station. (What's the rail term for a puddle jumper? Puddle splitter?)

  3. Can we please have a #British or #European ambassador come to the #UnitedStates to share with us the wonder and glory of #HighSpeedRail? We need it badly.

  4. America's finest airport! Wish there were other transportation options

    In Lithuania, a significant milestone has been reached on the nearly 9 km double-track section of the future European standard gauge railway: the completion of continuous rail welding using flash welding technology.

    Delivering a high-speed railway requires not only engineering expertise, but also close cooperation between project partners, rigorous quality assurance, and attention to every detail.

  6. Airlines like #jetstar in #australia charging for a carry-on bag for weight is highway robbery. These companies need to face regulations as well as stiff competition from #highspeedrail for travel between the Melbourne and Brisbane corridor.

    If your excuse is fuel and a tight margin then maybe you shouldn’t exist as a business and other options to support citizens traveling should be implemented.

    Found you on Erin O'Toole's show. Thank you for talking sense, putting fair criticisms on costs and expensive policies, but still pushing back on common conservative wants to just letting the private sector do whatever also.

  9. For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail for the Islands of Northern Europe here github.com/anisotropi4/magpie. My thanks goes to @openstreetmap as this is based on their data.

    The GeoPKG file for the INE rail dataset is here github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/. This INE dataset includes a London Overground layer as visualized here, as I couldn't find this anywhere else.

  10. Frecciarossa starts trials for new links to Munich from Milan and Rome.

    Trial runs of Frecciarossa trains in Germany and Austria are paving the way for high-speed links between Rome, Milan and Munich.

    The first services are planned for summer 2027.

  11. Spousey and I are going to #3DPrintopia this month! Even better, we're riding the #Acela to Philadelphia to get there! We booked business class tickets last night. I've never ridden the Acela, and I might be looking forward to the train ride more than the show.

  12. We are often told that high-speed rail lines cannot be used by freight trains, because of the wear and tear from heavy carriages. That does not seem to apply to the Perpignan–Barcelona route, where passenger trains at 300 km/h share tracks with freight trains.

  13. I'll allow Carney to take as many trips to Europe as he wants. He's good at crafting a message for the room he's in, so I expect to hear more encouraging "middle powers" talk.

    Longshot: maybe he'll ride a TGV or two while he's there 😉.

  14. My latest video, ‘Shinkansen 88 – Back to the Future’ has just posted to YouTube.

    lol, at least we Brits got as far as Birmingham.

    It's all very pathetic though, we need more trains and fewer planes

  16. Central Valley cities actively working against CA High Speed Rail, then citing delays and expense as a reason the project is unworkable. This is why big infrastructure projects are so difficult in America
