@Andyhinds I agree. If he's still nervous then he probably isn't right for that job, let's be honest.
-
@achtungtony The TGV doesn't meet UK safety standards, which is why the Eurostar exists in the first place rather than just allowing TGVs to travel through the tunnel.
-
@LMB222 Nice one.
The problem in Germany is privatization. Look at the poor trainsystem of Great Britain where they have a totaly private trainsystem. They don't have that problem in France. Shure, not everything is good in France, but they spend a lot more money on there trains.
-
@NeoDerGrose Yes, perhaps not a "failure", but IMHO "didn't grow to expectations". As for the TGV, the standing places near the toilettes are quite famous for their comfort.
-
@LMB222 To call it a failure is a bit hard. If time matters there are many lines where you can save time. And the comfort is much higher than for example at the TGV. But you're right, the ICE isn't perfect and we need to reconfigure the network to concentrate at the mainlines and highspeed routes. The rest should be served by a better IC network.
-
Fortunately no longer Ludwigshafen, but in Rheinland you have still stops between Köln and Düsseldorf, a mere 25km, or better Duisburg, 8km. I've completely switched to IC due to similar speed (200km/h where possible), and their much bigger comfort. ICE is crammed, with little leg room.
For me, ICE is clearly a failure.
-
@LMB222 ICEs stopping in Ludwigshafen are you shure? I don't think so.
But you can't say that there 's no network in Germany as there are more lines with topspeed of 250-280 km/h. And I'm glad we have at least ICEs all over the country, not like Britain where they have three Eurostar Stations all over the country.

NO fucking way!

@ebayaddict19 That is a railway line, not a train.

What a fucking stupid comment to make, of course it was the driver who made the record breaking run, and why should he have any sweat on his brow? He drives trains like this every day, it's his profession and so being nervous shouldn't come into it. What next eh, the first man on the moon /in space wasn't Neil Armstrong/Yuri Gagarin but the people who built the rockets?
