By the way have you seen some of those major stations? They are YUGE and beautiful but I am surprise the CS Transie said we will only have one train per day one way each...
Who will use all those magnificie facilities? The night lights, the air-coned waiting lounges, the YUGE platforms etal?
This means the lounges will be used only for a maximum of say 1 hour and remain deserted for the next 23 hours.
Anyone of you ever visited the Syokimau commuter train station? Its in a state of disrepair due to underutilization plus utter NEGLET! Yet it get occupied at least 3 hours a day!
The type of the train stations built by these Chinese were fully based on the China model of mass transport...those stations require several trains per day, operation every 30 mins on the minimum.
Otherwise we will see some of the rare white elephants that we thought had become extinct!
good observation there, on the passenger side of things one can easily speculate with some measure of certainty that when the novelty of the SGR quiets down we shall begin to see those white elephants roaming around and this speculation is given more credence by the fact that govt has subsidized the commercial operations of the rail to the tune of 15b all this being to the detriment of the taxpayer, if we had a double track then one would reasonably speculate that those white elephants would be kept at bay. Double tracks?? do you guys know how trains operates? talk of GOOD intersections and I will listen. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Double tracks?? do you guys know how trains operates? talk of GOOD intersections and I will listen. we may or may not know how trains operate but the question that begs an answer is that when fully operational the SGR is expected to have 43 locomotives operating on a single track line, how efficient will this be, prepare to spot a few white elephants 'One headache for famous medieval holy people was that someone might murder you to acquire your body parts for the relics trade'

Now we need the schedule. I need to determine if I can move to my plot in Salama. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.
