  1. I must say I'm underwhelmed by the Canadian train announcement.

    Basically, they are buying 313 railcars for ≈ 3B€, so roughly 9.36M€ for each railcar.

    For comparison, Norway bought some 17 Stadler FLIRT (a mix of EMUs and BMUs) for 700 M€. This is basically 136 carriages at around 5 M€ the carriage. In other words, Norway paid half what Canada paid per carriages, with motors, batteries and some diesel generators thrown in for free.
