Once we have a train system that can match overall speed with airliners, then we can make electric trains work all over the world. Give it time, and it'll happen.
@milesmouse72 Eh. Given the time wasted at airports, you don't even need trains going that fast. Then again, the shorter the flight, the more of an issue that is. (And if Eurostar services are anything to go by, some of the security stuff holding up flights will end up applying to trains as well. - at least, if they run internationally.)
@Xarras94 like ur comment try little sooner than that i think in 2020s and 2050s all trains will be hovercraft no wheels any more year 2500 is long long long time away u me be dead buddy wish i live that long can imagine trillions of things for real can happen including trains
@Xarras94 who knows tho wat the future holds for the trains im just titled in my opinion this is your opinion right wat if the trains around did became maglev in 2030 or 2050
@laurenfan4 Why should it be 'profitable'. The rails are public infrastructure, like bridges, roads and tunnels on interstates. How 'profitable' are those in the US? Why use a different standard for public rail infrastructure. Build the HS lines and then open up services under strict regulation, as in Europe....
German propaganda is spreading that Germany gives so very much money to international organizations or foreign countries. Oviously this money is spend to infiltrate other countries to gain influence. So watch out for german snitchers.
The German BND tortured my brother Markus Bott during five and a half years. He was assassinated on 11.7.09 because of our homepage.
@laurenfan4: oooooohhhhh wow! Amtrak ONLY has the northeast corridor where the trains that CAN run 150mph never does because the track and overhead aren't capable of it due to age.
Meanwhile all over Europe - INCLUDING RUSSIA - Japan, China and soon India there are highspeed service covering the whole countries and they operate to speeds well in the excess of 200mph.
When you get older and learn about REALITY get back with us.
The construction of the linear motor car is advanced in Japan now. The linear motor car of Japan seems to float by about 10cm while the linear motor car of Shanghai floats by 1cm. The riding comfort of the linear motor car to say nothing of the speed might be also the highest.
However, japanese Shinkansen accurately get to one's destination with an error of less than 1 minute. In addition, shinnkansen has started to putting for about ten minutes between Tokyo Osaka including the local train. It is a reason why this cannot also do the speedup.
I think that this speed is certainly terrible. However, it is probrem in safety that the TGV do't actually run this speed. I think that there is a technology that Shinkansen of Japan also puts on the speed of this. But, geographical features in Japan contains the mountain and a lot of rivers, etc. unlike smooth geographical features in France. Owing to a lot of tunnels and bridges, it is said to be dangerous that shinkansen can't run over 310km/h.
@mhiro75sentai It's more a problem of costs. The TGV runs at 300-320kph in commercial use. A faster speed would increase power consumption and fatigue materials faster so the ticket price rise.
The geography of France isn't smooth at all, but most of the TGV tracks built for 30years were studied in smooth regions but still have a lot of viaducs (search "tgv viaduc" on google img). Main moutains obstacles are the Massif Central, the Alpes (to Italy) and the Pyrenees (to spain).
@mhiro75sentai So you say 574.87 km/h is terrible it's halv the speed of a comercial plane. Oh yes france is NOT smooth it has the Alpes, Provence and other large mountain chains.
It would be AWESOME if all trains would be that fast in future, so driving from here to my 2nd home town (north-eastern Italy - eastern Serbia), which is 1200km away, would only take 2 hours. Now I need like 15 hours by car and 23 hours with train (because the rail connection isn't that good).
Thats nothing here in America we have an Amtrack that reaches nearly 60 MPH, while you watch your drink shake off the table and makes 30 stops along the coast. Eh lets not worry about any infrastructure improvements, just keep on droping bombs in the sand. go to costofwar unreal
@unknown827 Because the Chinese don't have any of their own. They just bougth and cloned the French, Japanese and German trains. Plus, this record was set in June 2007, before any major Chinese deployments of European and Japanese trains on their territory. However, credit to the Chinese for recognizing the strategic significance of HSR!
@UraeusAnkhAmon What is your point? What do you think the Alstom TGV Thalys PBKA/PBA are? I'll give you a hint: They are TGV Réseau trains. Which is why it says TGV in their type designation.
And for your information, AVE operates a fleet of 24 S-100 trains, which are nothing more than slightly modified TGV Atlantiques. So, we have Spain, Belgium, and even the Netherlands and Germany operating trains based on the TGV design. Not just South Korea. So, once again, great research, EuroNews!
@catrachocolo You still don't have a point and about the AVE that's my bad. But this is the TGV Duplex. And I would like to say that the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany ALL USE the SAME TRAIN. Even if they are slightly modified then they are NOT the SAME train (AVE).
@UraeusAnkhAmon EuroNews is not talking about the Duplex. They are talking about the TGV and its developments in general, otherwise they wouldn't even mention South Korea. And if they mention Korea's KTX they have to mention Spains S-100 trains and Thalys' trains as well. Which they don't. Either mention all customer countries or don't mention them at all.
And by the way: Thalys' trains are not owned by the company itself but by other train companies. For the PBKA: Germany (DB) owns 2, the Netherlands (NS) 2, France (SNCF) 6 and Belgium (SNCB) 7. So, in EuroNews-language: Germany has bought the TGV, the Netherlands have bought the TGV and so has Belgium. Same thing as above: Either mention all customer countries or don't mention them at all.
@Silentsam7532 But more expensive. I like the idea of floating on magnets too, but today i don't think it can works commercially, maybe in the future.
SuperBunkerbuster's post two weeks ago explain well why tgv tracks are, today, better in a practical way. The cost "just for the tracks" is already huge and there are other trains too.
But again i think it has some potential for the future.
Sure the maglev is fastest but the TGV is more affordable and more versatile. It can travel also on regular rail lines, of course not so fast than on "LGVs", TGV's special rail lines.
MAGLEV lines are very difficult and expensive to build (no railroad crossing, hard-to-build railroad switches) and, in case of failure, could not be easily helped ; electrical failure on a TGV line ? No problem, a diesel locomotive comes to push/pull the train.
@David20931 That's how it is done. On high speed tracks you don't have any crossings and you have fences along the track to avoid collison with animals.
Si vabbè sti francesi....credono sempre di essere i migliori!
Un treno con una sola carrozza e due motrici, una che spinge e una che tira...poi nessun altro treno in linea da distanziare....grazie che arriva a quella velocità!
Ma che hanno dimostrato?? L'efficienza di una Ferrovia non si misura certo così!
E poi i Giapponesi sono anche più avanti di loro col MAGLEV.
The Japanese Maglev is a completely different kind of transportation, it is not consicered as a typical railway. The TGV POS belongs to the "typical railway" family, so the true train speed record is SNCF's 574,8 km/h (the other category is the speed record for a classic locomotive + wagons - here we have german Siemens Taurus and 357 km/h).
the TGV Is a Lamborgini of a train, the Maglev is a Ferrari of a train, and the ICE is a Mercedies SL class, but here in America, Amtrak trains, Ford Pinto, Greyhound Bus Bicycles, although we have the Acela in the north east Acela, Chevy Camaro Z71
yep wonderful technology built in a country where technology is appreciated and used to bad it can't happen across the world for the sake of the environment alone, too much ridiculous debate to support very wasteful automobile industry convention very sad
Oh, I forgot. We live in a country where oil companies, the airlines, and congressmen and senators from the Deep South can block anything this sensible.
@bluerailroad coast mto cost will take only 4 hours... planes take 6 hours (including the airport fusss and getting to them... maybe even more).
But to be honest I Fucking hate western europe, I'm gonna miss the high speed train network for sure... but Its well worth leaving the by facist ruled European parlament. Canada HERE I COME.
@lukebccb the US currently can't afford a maglev train. With a debt of over 12 trillion dollars. Except if the US stops its military expenditure and quit taxing more US citizens to send more troops abroad. Even if the US did stop they will have many issues to tackle with, before thinking about anything called maglev. In tthe US today, less money is used on research while more money gets wasted pointlessly meaning that US techology will not be able to meet up with ASIA and Europe in the future.
@RobertsDigital: Doesn't even need to be maglev. HSR is now off the shelf. The French and Germans have the technology and industry existing for HSR locomotives/trains. You can just buy the coaches/locomotives/trains "off the shelf" from those 2 places. The major cost is building the trackway necessary for HSR.
The Chinese and the Russians (THE RUSSIANS!) are doing exactly that: they're buying the ready-to-go trains from the French or Germans and only need take care of the tracks.
@lukebccb You are a champion!! I love people who aren't afraid of those tyrants which are the USA. Apparently they have trademarked democracy and placed jesus on the holy cross as the logo. Fuck the USA, ignore the US government. The people of the USA are strong for coping with such a tyrannical system. I just wish that the supporters of this system eventually realise that their system is nothing but a cul de sac. One that only benefits a minor few who set it up in the first place.
@RobertsDigital Could it be because of terrorist threats US government doesn't want fast trains which would definitely attract huge number of people? It would be impossible to protect if from possible attacks. And oil lobby of course... Probably both?
Bullet trains in France and Germany had their crashes, yes.
We Germans had even one major one years ago.
Again:
Why all the time the mentioning of a crash of such a high speed train and at the same time ignoring all the aircraft crashes around the world every year?
Trains (included the Bullet Trains) have the reputation to be the most secure way of traveling.
But in this thread is a constant mentioning of train crashes.
@MldnightCIub I use the TGV every summer since five years, and I can say that you feel like if you are entering in an other dimension ! You discover an other physical time ! It's a very strange (and great !) sensation !!! And drinking a glass of red wine at the bar while watching the french grapes plantations when you're near Bordeaux, coming from Paris is always a great memory ;) (Sorry for my awful english....)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just a though.. EU poses itself as a booster of progress and modernity. So why the hell there are the fast trains still on wheels? Why still building the outdated concrete/metal railroads? Am I the only seeing it, that the magnetic levitation train is THAT leap forward. Not this amazing, but already outdated wheel train technology with only better parametres.
Please, stop wasting euros on wheels. Euro wants magnetic levitation! :-))
@Krasoslav Please do some research on rail interoperability, leverage of existing network investments and engineering logistics. Not only are traditional rails much more flexible and economically viable, but the TGV operates at pretty much the same top speed as the Maglev record: 574.8 vs 581. Now THAT is impressive!

the TGV Is a Lamborgini of a train, the Maglev is a Ferrari of a train, and the ICE is a Mercedies SL class, but here in America, Amtrak trains, Ford Pinto, Greyhound Bus Bicycles, although we have the Acela in the north east Acela, Chevy Camaro Z71
sideslide23 1 year ago
Current commercial speed for ICE, tgv and shinkansen is limited by the cost needed to overcome technical issues at speed over 300km/h.
That is why the maximum commercial speed has slowly increasing from 300 to 340km/h on the past 20 years in France.
And the noise of the train due to the flow of the air on the train become very high at this speed.
Current TGV in france is a result of a choice between speed, cost and prices.
I cannot explain more,I'm not good enough in English.

In the meantime us stupid Americans just continue debating about whether or not to even build hsr: this when the era of cheap plentiful oil is over.

@lukebccb the US currently can't afford a maglev train. With a debt of over 12 trillion dollars. Except if the US stops its military expenditure and quit taxing more US citizens to send more troops abroad. Even if the US did stop they will have many issues to tackle with, before thinking about anything called maglev. In tthe US today, less money is used on research while more money gets wasted pointlessly meaning that US techology will not be able to meet up with ASIA and Europe in the future.
RobertsDigital 1 year ago
@RobertsDigital: Doesn't even need to be maglev. HSR is now off the shelf. The French and Germans have the technology and industry existing for HSR locomotives/trains. You can just buy the coaches/locomotives/trains "off the shelf" from those 2 places. The major cost is building the trackway necessary for HSR.
The Chinese and the Russians (THE RUSSIANS!) are doing exactly that: they're buying the ready-to-go trains from the French or Germans and only need take care of the tracks.

@lukebccb You are a champion!! I love people who aren't afraid of those tyrants which are the USA. Apparently they have trademarked democracy and placed jesus on the holy cross as the logo. Fuck the USA, ignore the US government. The people of the USA are strong for coping with such a tyrannical system. I just wish that the supporters of this system eventually realise that their system is nothing but a cul de sac. One that only benefits a minor few who set it up in the first place.

@RobertsDigital Could it be because of terrorist threats US government doesn't want fast trains which would definitely attract huge number of people? It would be impossible to protect if from possible attacks. And oil lobby of course... Probably both?

Where is the difference to an aircraft accident?
Bullet trains in France and Germany had their crashes, yes.
We Germans had even one major one years ago.
Again:
Why all the time the mentioning of a crash of such a high speed train and at the same time ignoring all the aircraft crashes around the world every year?
Trains (included the Bullet Trains) have the reputation to be the most secure way of traveling.
But in this thread is a constant mentioning of train crashes.

@MldnightCIub I use the TGV every summer since five years, and I can say that you feel like if you are entering in an other dimension ! You discover an other physical time ! It's a very strange (and great !) sensation !!! And drinking a glass of red wine at the bar while watching the french grapes plantations when you're near Bordeaux, coming from Paris is always a great memory ;) (Sorry for my awful english....)

Because physics laws make it impossible, over 600 km/h a train won't stay on conventional rails like TGV.

Cow was hit on TGV rail, scientists are still searching for any discernible pieces of the cow.

Just a though.. EU poses itself as a booster of progress and modernity. So why the hell there are the fast trains still on wheels? Why still building the outdated concrete/metal railroads? Am I the only seeing it, that the magnetic levitation train is THAT leap forward. Not this amazing, but already outdated wheel train technology with only better parametres.
Please, stop wasting euros on wheels. Euro wants magnetic levitation! :-))

@Krasoslav Please do some research on rail interoperability, leverage of existing network investments and engineering logistics. Not only are traditional rails much more flexible and economically viable, but the TGV operates at pretty much the same top speed as the Maglev record: 574.8 vs 581. Now THAT is impressive!
