  1. A member of the #PKPIC board of directors revealed that as many as 8 companies have submitted requests to participate in the HSR train tender proceedings launched in December. Additionally, the deadline for request submissions has been moved forward by a month, so it will take a while longer until we learn who they are and what the offers will be: rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/p

    Wow, that proposed ALTO High Speed Rail thing is going to use up so much of our farmland!

    Like… what the hell is going on over there? Are they stuck somewhere between Spain and Germany? Is it somewhere with a way out sometime this decade? Do they have snacks at least?

  13. Will 2026 be the year Europe’s night trains finally take off?

    A European night train renaissance has long been teased, but in reality, it has been slow to materialise.

    New night trains are launching across Europe, but funding gaps and ageing infrastructure still threaten their revival.

  14. Poland is building a €30 billion mega-airport. When will it open?

    Port Polska is envisioned as a gateway to Europe and as one of the largest transport hubs in the region.

    The transport hub, located between Warsaw and the smaller city of Łódź, hopes to welcome 40 million passengers annually.

    That puts it in the same league as the likes of London Heathrow and Istanbul.

  15. **🚄 Đường sắt cao tốc Bắc – Nam: "Phải làm chắc thắng"!**

    Dự án đường sắt cao tốc Bắc – Nam vừa được Quốc hội thông qua chủ trương đầu tư vào cuối tháng 11/2024, đánh dấu bước ngoặt quan trọng trong tư duy phát triển hạ tầng giao thông Việt Nam. Đây là cơ hội để hiện đại hóa hệ thống đường sắt, kết nối kinh tế hai miền, nhưng cũng đòi hỏi sự chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng để đảm bảo hiệu quả và tránh lãng phí.

  21. Weekly output: NextGen Acela, Evernote V11, Verizon CEOs, RGB LED, screen time, Cranky Dorkfest, Verizon buys Starry, AT&T standalone 5G, TiVo DVRs

    This week will have me crossing a state off my states-visited list for the first time since 2009–Wisconsin, where Oshkosh Corp. is hosting a press day to show off its government and industrial vehicles, including the U.S. Postal Service’s new and behind-schedule duckface trucks. I don’t have a good explanation for why I had not set foot in that state sooner and can only apologize to America’s Dairyland for the extended oversight.

    10/6/2025: Amtrak’s new Acela trains can’t keep up with high-speed rail, Fast Company

    After taking the new trains to and from New York at the end of August, I had ambitions of writing this story much faster than I did–sort of like how Amtrak had ambitions of getting the new train into service much sooner than it did. But getting the level of detail that I wanted about the railroad’s plans to upgrade the power infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor took more time than I expected.

    (I included the full text of Amtrak’s detailed explanation of its plans to improve the catenary along the NEC in the commentary-enhanced version of this post that I published early on Patreon.)

    10/6/2025: Major Evernote Update Taps AI for Search and Transcription, But Not Writing, PCMag

    I had about an hour Friday to quiz Evernote product lead Federico Simionato about Bending Spoons’ plans for the note-taking app that it bought in 2023, and which I’ve used since 2010–so of course I took notes in my Mac’s copy of Evernote while using the Android app to record our conversation for subsequent AI transcription.

    10/6/2025: Verizon Hot-Swaps Current CEO for Ex-PayPal Boss, PCMag

    I don’t usually cover C-suite departures and arrivals, but I had some free time. And Verizon’s new chief executive Dan Schulman has a sufficiently interesting backstory–see the New York Times’ interview of him in 2008–that I told my editors I could pick up this item.

    10/7/2025: RGB LED Is Getting Its Time in the Spotlight. Will TV Shoppers Tune In?, PCMag

    I started writing this post at IFA–the first version had a Berlin dateline. But then I got sufficiently sidetracked and got in enough reporting after that tech trade show for the piece to evolve from an event recap to a broader assessment of a tech development.

    10/8/2025: It’s Not Just You: Parents Everywhere Struggle to Set Screen-Time Boundaries, PCMag

    Pew’s data about the level of technology use respondents to its survey allowed among kids 12 years old or younger made me feel slightly better about my own attempts at digital parenting.

    10/8/2025: What happens when online plane enthusiasts meet up IRL?, Fast Company

    This recap of Cranky Dorkfest 2025 was easily the most fun that I’ve had with a story since the last time I went to Florida to see a space launch.

    10/8/2025: Verizon to Buy Wireless Broadband Pioneer Starry, Fold It Into Its Home Internet Service, PCMag

    Writing this sent me back a ways–both to writing about Starry in its early days, including a December 2017 feature for Yahoo Finance, but also to covering Starry founder Chet Kanojia’s previous venture, the local-TV-streaming service Aereo that the Supreme Court put out of business in a dubious 2014 opinion.

    10/9/2025: AT&T Switches on Standalone 5G Nationwide, Unlocking Future Network Slice Services, PCMag

    This post also covers Verizon’s advances in standalone 5G, about which that carrier has been quieter than AT&T and T-Mobile.

    10/9/2025: Time’s Up for a Timeshifting Trailblazer: TiVo Discontinues Its Standalone DVRs, PCMag

    I would have written this much faster if I didn’t get sucked down a rabbit hole of old TiVo posts and reviews, followed by my checking my own TiVo purchase history.

  22. Portugal to start work on its first high-speed rail line.

    Work can begin on a new high-speed train line between Lisbon and Porto after the European Investment Bank wrote out a first cheque for €875 million in financing on Tuesday.

    The first section of Portugal's first-ever high-speed railway will run south from Porto to the city of Oiã, about a quarter of the way to the capital, Lisbon.

  23. @larstransportworld That’s a great map (and definitely all due credit to France), but it’s also a very depressing reminder that, over 40 years since the #LGV network started, the •entirety• of the #UK #HighSpeedRail network still fits in a corner of the French map! 😢

    (Haphazard progress is being made on a savagely truncated #HS2 route, and at least we do have fairly extensive #MediumSpeedRail (200 km/h max) service on many InterCity routes, but it is beyond ridiculous that UK is so far behind.)

  24. The Bajío region in #Mexico is perfectly suited for #HighSpeedRail. Here's my proposal, which I'm calling #Mexpreso!

    Eleven major Mexican cities connected with 775 km of tracks. #MexicoCity to #Aguascalientes in three hours, to #Leon in 2:20, and to #Guadalajara in 3:15.

    And this all builds on the planned line to #Queretaro! That line is a great start, but it should go farther, because this has potential to connect Mexico like never before.
