*SAD that the channel adheres to politics.* It omits the second biggest railroad project this century after the Chinese: the increase of the Russian railroads transit capacity from 90 to 250 (by 2030) million tonnes per year. Because it would destroy the propaganda that Russia is about to collapse, even though the exact opposite is happening.

​@SummerSausage1 we aren't watching the same videos then. It's about the engineering. And when it does get into the nitty-gritty, I definitely heard both sides.

[@SummerSausage1]

You just have a lack of understanding for engineering which is why when we watch the same video you don't realize what it's missing out on, because you lack that knowledge to begin with. Engineering, and especially grandiose engineering projects are about the environment it's in, just as much as it is about the actual project itself. The basic concept is to transform the earth into something more useful for humanity, and if you rewatch the video you will see that that aspect of every projects mentioned is lacking. This is a well made video, but lacking crucial detail about every project, such as the landscape prior, during, and most importantly after. He even realizes this by showing maps of trains, but lacks the depth of anything past that, such as topography, forrests, desserts, etc. The list can go on, but it's clear you lack any educational background in engineering so to someone as primitive as yourself in a field you have no understanding in, I can see why you think the way you do. It's not a jab at your, it's just human nature. People don't know what they don't know. @@MaddJakd

Classic tories. Promise the world in an era of populism (spend to win votes in north) but when you know you're gonna lose the next election revert to old school principles the hardcore call for re scrapping infrasturre projects, lower taxes & generally setting the house of fire so you can blame the new govt for it.

Not only is China's HSR network amazing, but the incorporation of 3rd party services into the network will blow everyones mind. I travel on HSR in China regularly and at times had McDonalds delivered to my seat when we pull up to a major station, friends have had Starbucks or Pizza delivered to their seats, all ordered through the app. You can practically order anything you want.

Hi Fred and team, I'd personally love a follow up on the HS2 analysis now that phase 2A has been cancelled. There's been a lot of rhetoric saying that the reason it's been hugely over budget is due to nimbys in the home counties forcing the lines underground and I'd like to know whether this was actually the case or not, cheers! Keep up the great work!

[@piraterubberduck6056]

More than half of the leg being built to Birmingham is underground, so that makes sense.

[@ayoCC]

I wonder if there's a good calculation how much poorer a person is due to lack of connection. Trains probably have a big potential to make people less poor by reducing the costs of importing and exporting, even domestically. economic gains are much more significant when it comes to transfer of goods i think...

Theres the Chenab Railway Bridge, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR, the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, the 100% Electrification Drive, the Delhi-Meerut RRTS among other projects like more than 20 metro rail projects, the Bengaluru Commuter Rail project etc

[@dwarasamudra8889]

​@LaowaiDaveJCP This is a Western KZbin Channel who covers projects from countries around the world. I don't see your point at all. My problem is that he always conveniently ignores India's mega projects but will talk about much smaller projects in countries like Morocco or Kenya. The few times he does talk about Indian projects, its usually very poorly researched. For example, his recent video about the Mumbai-Sabarmati HSR was full of old information and half-baked points. His videos on the Mumbai Coastal Road and the Delhi-Meerut RRTS were also poorly researched.

Hi from Brisbane, Australia. The Olympics has divided the state with many thinking it to be a waste of money. I personally welcome them as our city will fast track (no pun intended) a lot of prejects like our rail system (a number of new rail lines being funded or in a development stage atm, like Cross River Rail, Gold Coast lines with completely new stations and several business cases to extend other lines out to access more of the Sunshine Coast or linking the Springfield line to Ipswich and much more), new busways (Brisbane Metro and other Busway extensions) and road upgrades (motorways and local council roads) that are sorely needed. We will have brand new state of the art stadium upgrades and a bunch of new entertainments precincts like The Gabba upgrade, a new Brisbane Live entertainment venue, new casino due to open 2024, more green bridges around the city for active transport and a bunch of other things. I'm excited to see how the city will look in 9 years time for the Olympics. I do feel for the rest of the state though as there's a majority of money being invested in the CBD and there are a lot more cities in the state then just Brisbane.

China's assembly line approach to standardization and central dispatching are key elements to the success and quick return on investment of the system. Once the lines are in motion and regular use, the immediate benefits start a positive snowball effect on trade and efficiency, similar to what we saw moving autos and trucks from surface roads to the Interstate system.

That HS2 where it's now due to finish at East Midlands Parkway (Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire border, just a few mins up the road from me), was set to go through my town of Long Eaton, Derbyshire (Again not far from East Midlands Parkway), on a massive viaduct, onward to the current rail freight area of Toton (J25, M1 / A52) and north via the Erewash Valley Line, and has brought untold misery for us in Long Eaton. Mentioning Toton and East Midlands Parkway, there is already ample scope to run services especially via the upper level freight line to Toton (Trent Junction, Long Eaton, where the current Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester / London St Pancras services converge), offering a large cost saving, and a massively reduced environmental impact in the area, not that it matters now, however I feel for many in the town, after a number of properties was compulsory purchased, and now it's not even going ahead.

I found this fascinating, as usual. Having lived in China from 2010 - 2015 I saw the rail boom. Most smaller cities got underground / metro systems too. I lived in Shanghai where the end of some metro lines were in pure countryside. Chengdu (home of the panda) in Sichuan Province in West China had 2 metro lines when I left in 2015, now it has 13 lines! How can you compare the UK with China. China is huge in comparison. P.S. Fred - Guangzhou is pronounced "Guang Joe". Best wishes from Bangkok.

[@syncmonism]

Japan was the first country to have a high-speed rail network, and their entire high-speed rail system has NEVER had an accident which caused a fatality since it started running in 1964. That's billions and billions of trips with zero serious accidents. An absolutely incredible safety record, making even modern air-travel seem dangerous by comparison, with fantastic energy efficiency as well (of course).

With several topographical and climatic challenges along the way, and yet they've completed 80% of it.

Watching the segment on HS2 reminded me so much of the similar complaints and debates that occurred in Boston in the 1990s and the 2000s, as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project first dismantled a 1950s elevated steel monstrosity, and concurrently used TBMs to dig a network of mainline tunnels and interconnecting ramps under the heart of the city. It took many years, and the inconveniences to the general populace were significant -- I dreaded driving into Boston most of my adult life. But now, 20 years after completion, traffic flows smoothly under the city - albeit still lacking adequate lighting, in my opinion - and the now mature tree canopy through downtown offers a much more beautiful experience in the city. BTW, I never lived in Boston - I live in Vermont - but I monitored the project's progress over the years, to ensure that the navigation data provided by my former employer (TomTom) was always up-to-date. It might be informative to investigate how people feel about the pain of that construction project, now that the vision has been realized. Keep up the great work, Fred & Co!

HS2 was three phases, 1, 2a and 2b. ▪ *phase 1* high-speed track is London to Birmingham with a link at Handsacre north of Birmingham onto the existing West Coast Main Line taking trains to the North West of England and West Scotland. ▪ *phase 2a* is Handsacre to a junction at Crewe. ▪ *phase 2b* is Crewe to Manchester on the west coast & Birmingham to Leeds on the east coast. *phases 2a and 2b have been cancelled for good.*

Brisbane won the bid for the Olympics as no other place bid for it, that being said the new metro is needed and is good to look forward to.
