#traingeeks — Public Fediverse posts

#DYK? You can read the train speed in real-time when you ride the Alfa Pendular train in Portugal. 🇵🇹 Another fun fact... 162 km/h is not yet considered "high speed"! 😱 In Europe, it has to reach 200 km/h on legacy infra or 250 km/h on HSR. Lost in translation (and USCS/metric conversion)? 😉 Again, we got you covered... We talk about U.S. terminology here: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/28600/chapter/6#65. 🚄 #infrastructure #mobility #traingeeks #transportation

And the week before this was posted, the Spanish government released a public consultation about the technical barriers in the Spanish #Railway sector.

There’s language in the press release and associated technical report that seems very much geared towards justifying regauging as a result of this consultation exercise.

There’s no specific question, and they only really give a month to respond, but there is a nice report attached to the consultation with plenty of juicy numbers for the #train geeks amongst us.
