The high-speed railway of the future that will bring Finland and the Baltic states closer to western Europe

  1. I dont understand why this train will go through Ełk and not through Sokółka and Augustów. If you look at the map you can see the train has to change direction at Białystok and Olecko stations, which will take over 10 minutes each. The two lines are pretty much the same in length

  2. Just to be precise: Rail Baltica is actually only the connection from Helsinki/Tallinn to Warsaw, and not the connection to Western Europe. It will, however, enable connecting the Baltic states with other lines to Germany and further

  3. I remain skeptical we’ll ever see a Helsinki-Tallinn tunnel. It’d be the longest undersea tunnel in the world. I’m sure there would be plenty of commuter traffic between the cities (there already is even with just a ferry connection), but I doubt it’s enough to justify the cost of such a megaproject?
