This is why we can’t have HSR! |

Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Oct 8 17:19:05 2018 I just came back from Spain where I rode AVE from Madrid to Seville and the regional service from Madrid to Toledo and back. I also noticed something while taking the train to Barcelona airport from the city. On a previous trip, I rode the Eurostar from London to Paris.Long story still long: I noticed that when you get just outside the city limits, the land use changes almost immediately to low density farming. This was even the case on the train to the airport in Barcelona. It’s this sort of cheap land between dense cities that allows HSR ROWs to be developed. It’s something that was probably available in the US back when the interstates were being developed, but is now long gone. There’s essentially no room for HSR in America in the very corridors where it would be most successful. Discuss. |
