Alstom planning to built Hydrogen trains in 2025, maybe it has a good chance to use on EWR

The Telegraph's headline is simply misleading, show be a small HS2 worksite has been halted, not HS2 halted.

With all respects. We really do not know, BR removed the second track of Kettering to Corby, "We are not going to use them", but after 30 years NR redouble and electrify this line. Given those communities around this line is on the Newcastle metro area commuting belt. I would think it still...

The helps, thanks again.

Alright, I did not expect a suggestion would receive that bullying, sharp, and mean comments. Bye-bye to this forum.

Thanks for your explanation.

All i am suggesting is this line should not be 50 mph, build at higher speed, with electrification and modern ETCS signals to reduce the cost for upgrading multiple times. But if people insist a 50 mph railway is what they want, fine. Still better than a bus.

But in future, the newer tech will help train to accelerate faster, the development of eco will make the new faster route possible, and you might also extend the service beyond Ashington. 1618581559 I fully understand the motivation, I prise the project, and I would like more service, a 50 mph...

I agree this project is valuable to local people, every railway is a good railway. It is cleaner, faster, and more reliable than the bus. But UK people should look at how other places do the rail projects, planning in advance, be innovative and bold, just like your Victorian ancesteors.

When you looking to European peers, the new project experiences are already lagging behind. Franch and German/Italy/Spain all have far more projects. Compare to Asian counties, you know 100 km of HSR in today's Asian they might not even need Central gov's authorization, a city can decide to...

Yes, HS1 is only 100 km of the railway line, and the lessons seem not learned by HS2. meanwhile, Korea builds over 1000 km HSR, and more than 20 metro lines in last 10 years, not to mention China have commissioned 10000 km HSR in 2015 alone. Compare to east Asian counties, UK's railway...

Based on network rail want to have net-zero by 2035, the country wants to have net-zero in 2050, and NR also has a plan to upgrade the signals. And also based on in Korea, Japan, similar counties have very good transportation systems never "upgrade" a line to a maximum of 50 mph.

Yes it is, when you planning a new upgrade, think about people who will need to use it for the next 100 years. To be fair, even EWR chooses to keep the 60 mph Bletchley to Bedford section not upgraded to 100 mph, this is not a secondary commenter Branch line. I appreciate UK's railway sector...

I want the line to reopen. But the current approach is sub-optimal. As a huge rail fan from East Asia whose county build railways at an ever imagined speed. The current UK railway industry is stretched and failed to dream big. Because the government failed to optimized the investment, the...

Yes, that is true, but in infrastructure planning, we always planning in advance not legging behind, upgrading in a single time is cheaper than planning twice. In 2020s railway is electrified, with proper ETCS signal, and built for much higher speed. A limited budget sounds wise, but in a...

In many East Asian counties, the lowest standard for new railway or upgraded is about 75 mph. The higher building standard made future upgrades cheaper, also open new opportunities for future fast service. When you planning infrastructures, think about the future. And it is even worse to build a...

But we need to consider the bigger scope and the longer term, the route might some day used for some long-distance diversion route. Also, have the potential for a fast freight train to use this section.

Given upgrading the route is much cheaper if the route does not have passenger service yet, they should consider upgrading this line to a higher standard. it is unreasonable to build a railway in the 2020s with 1920s top speed.

So what is the new maximum speed after reopening?

The effectively new railway between east of Huddersfield and west of Dewsbury will built in top speed of 125 mph or 100 mph?
