No need to guess, @Prime586 already mentioned the Hokuriku Shinkansen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokuriku_Shinkansen

IIRC Japan (like France) began electrifying the national network at 1.5 kV DC and switched to AC in the 1950s. 1.5 kV is also the standard for most subway lines and local private railways in Japan.

If this map is correct, there are no places on the conventional network where trains cross from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The lines that cross the frequency boundary were already electrified with 1.5 kV DC when AC electrification started...

That's Tokyo Station.

That's not true. The Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka is 60 Hz throughout. IIRC the classic lines around Tokyo are 1.5kV DC.

If we assume that Russia has spies in Finland spotting freight trains, they can work out which trains may be military cargo by seeing which trains they observed don't appear in the open data. As @Randomer said: If some non-military cargo trains are missing as well, the spies might be able to...

Albania was never part of Yugoslava, and I presume that you wouldn't rate Slovenia, Croatia or Serbia on the same level as Macedonia.

It wasn't an EU mandate when the Tories did it. EU policy requiring competititve tendering of subsisdised passenger services developed later, heavily influenced by the British example.

According to Wikipedia, FLIRTs for 1520mm gauge are 3.48m wide. (The version for 1524mm gauge in Finland is 3.2m wide.)

Open floor.

The Desiros were all delivered before 2009 so BDZ will presumably retain ownership of all of them.

Are you saying that they ran in multiple, with both units powered up and one controlling the other?

The announcement says that 5871 arrived at Strawberry Hill depot on 14th January. Is that a typo for 14th February?

And a 455 received in working order won't be an onerous "project" that takes time and resources away from the VEP. Restoration can wait until the VEP is completed.

That would be a Dolly. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1989_Citroen_2CV.jpg

If a dummy dataset is used for testing, perhaps someone installed the wrong dataset (the one with shortened names) on the latest version after it had been tested. Then again, perhaps the PIS software is so badly designed that station names are hardcoded instead of being read from a separate...

Anything you made for the Raml line in Alexandria will be gone soon, because the line has just closed for modernisation.

VR never accepted the Dm11 units into service, because they were overweight and excessively noisy and the windows froze up during the winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Class_Dm11 They were indeed sold to Cuba, where they were eventually converted into locomotive-hauled carriages using...
