If that's your sole criterion, then you're missing the big picture, aren't you?This is a politically-motivated bit of pork. Compared to much of what DB has done domestically in Germany, it's an aberration. |

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. |

It is the fourteenth-largest LUZ in Europe! It's also the capital and largest city of the Land of Baden-Württemberg. This isn't some smallish city. It's roughly three times the size of Strasbourg. And Stuttgart 21 doesn't connect to Stuttgart Airport very well at all. That station design is a mess of sharp curves, single-lead junctions, and mixed traffic. |

They say it's at least until the new government of Baden-Württemburg forms . . . but that government is stocked with Green Party members now, who oppose the project. (They're in a coalition with the SPD, who supports the project. I'd say deadlock results in death for this mess of a project.)The Local (Deutsche Press-Agentur)

Who said I oppose any modernization projects? They're fine so long as they aren't ripping off the people. (ARC's Alternative G would have been brilliant, especially if they found a way to run wires through GCT; send the Acela through there instead of the High Line alternately, eh?) The people don't want this project; it rips the old station to shreds and its utility is quite poor, never mind the costs blowing up like a balloon. |

ARC's Alternative G would have been brilliant, especially if they found a way to run wires through GCT; send the Acela through there instead of the High Line alternately, eh?)Except that it would have run well into the tens of billions of dollars once reality set in and the costs of the geotechnical engineers to ensure your shallow tunneling under Midtown's skyscrapers was done with the proper shoring. That, or else you'd need a new deep cavern under GCT and a good five miles of tunnel off into the Bronx to do it without disturbing the surface structures. |

Why would they need to compensate the railroad?I suspect it's for whatever ancillary expenses have been paid already in regards to engineering and other pre-construction costs. Besides, if anything, not building the project hurts a portion of their business model given that the plan is to basically speed up railway service between the Rhine-Neckar region, Stuttgart, and Munich, and it's necessary to make the TGV services from Paris to Munich remotely viable. I suspect DB isn't ultimate thrilled with the current operations into the Hbf and I don't think it's willing to have trains bypass the station as it does at Frankfurt... |
