@poVoq @Vittelius i life near of one of the low speed halts. Lets say I want to go to Sylt. I take a low speed train to an high speed stop and then use the train to go to sylt. from the local trainstation to sylt i have 3 stops and in 7 hours im there. Coexisting is possible.

@poVoq @Vittelius i don't think high speed trains and low speed have to exclude each other. For example between Kassel and Frankfurt are high speed and low speed trains. Currently the only obstacle is that both are so popular that it maxes out the capacity of both ways (one line goes through Fulda and the other through Marburg and giessen). The high speed trains only halt in a few trainstations, while the low speed trains at least cover all of the stations between to high speed stops.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars at home in the country i try to compress my visits, while my occasional traveling to my workingplace in the city is filled with walks to various shopping centres.
@Billy_Gnosis @const_void my school bus ticket costed a bit over 400€ and it was a normal bus ticket which i could use to use the buses in the near vincinity. My parent needed to pay 0€ directly for this.
And this was over 10 years ago, so the price is around 450 now.
@ManInTheMiddle @Vittelius the rail gauge is mostly one size already: 1435 mm, only spain and portugal are missing.
The train control systems must be replaced by etcs, this is an european regulation.
The electrification is the only Problem that needs to be solved. We have many different power systems that use highly different voltages. (750V to 25 kV)
