Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Fri Oct 15 23:16:49 2010, in response to Re: Mediator announces beginning of talks over ''Stuttgart 21'', posted by Olog-hai on Fri Oct 15 23:05:38 2010. This is a politically-motivated bit of porkI suspect the design of the line is motivated by the fact that DB just doesn't want to deal with a stub end terminal in a somewhat smallish city, nor does it want to build a high speed line that doesn't connect to the airport which is located south of the city. The rest of the line otherwise is just a way to speed up service from Paris and Strasbourg into Munich. While improvements on classic lines and the opening of the Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg–Ingolstadt–München has made runs from the north more effective via that routing more effective, the approach via Ulm and Augsburg will still need some work to be usable, especially for Paris-Munich traffic. |
