Nah, I don’t think lower prices and more service will catch on elsewhere.
I hope that Spain’s airport-style high speed train security controls don’t become a widespread model too. It’s unnecessary.
And we aren’t taking advantage of it by getting our own when it’s our only terrestrial connection to the rest of europe.
I think they should copy the UK strategy and take 4x as long to build it as planned and then only do about 20% of the original route massively over budget
No. As everything with capitalism it increases inequality. The same routes that need no improvement are those with the lower prices, sp. Madrid Barcelona.
The rest of the country, specifically the North-West, is left with unbearable prizes for local transportation, not to mention High-speed. I have to pay 10 times more for 60 km what that route costs for 600 km.
Transportation is a service, not a business, and I damned the day it was liberalized. You will never learn, folks.
