With costs, there is the issue of geostrategy and geopolitics. Then it is all churned up and which is the best bet is what matters. China is fabulous. But China is not trustworthy.

Re: India considers magnetic levitation technology for high speed trai Good thing for India.

Thanks for the advice and I am sure that is important. However, knowing Modi, he does not do anything without detailed thought and discussions with expert to include the Japanese, the people who have the most experience on Bullet trains, technology and operations. India is building dedicated...

I am not against the principle of your contention. I am for scrapping projects which are useless and populist. Save that money from further squandering and instead plough it into something profitable and worthwhile that benefits India and the Indian travelling public. If I were the Railway...

Cockeyed and populist projects cannot be taken as doing anything for NE. Even when I think of the NE, I dread the train journey. I rather waste money and go by air. The food is horrid, that is if one get it, the coaches are dirty, the toilets are filthy and the stations the trains stop at...

I presume these trains will have Wi Fi, workstations, video conferencing, printers, faxes and so on. This is not available on aircraft and so while on the aircraft, the businessmen are as good lost to the world. And having more space than aircraft, they will allow more working space. Will be...

Rail Budget LIVE: Gowda promises bullet trains, office-on-wheels, SMS food orders\ Union Railways Minister Sadanand Gowda starts presenting his maiden rail budget of the Narendra Modi government in Parliament. It would be interesting to watch if Gowda, like his predecessors, would shower...

Relief was sent this way. Heli lift would be a temporary relief. Feeding the population till the route gets restored may take time. Railways alone can estimate how long it will take to repair that extensive damage.

That is right about the NE. Because of the floods, India had to send relief supplies through Bangladesh to Tripura.

High speed is good. Who will organise the infrastructure to achieve it? That is the question!

Have a heart. We give shelter to every living creature of God! We are so filled with compassion! :rofl:

OK, here is the first flying brickbat. Would it be civic sense or sheer commercial interest of not losing their cattle to cause beyond natural death? :) That apart, in Europe there is no straying of cattle? Or say wild animals (I see some of the train photos show forest cover on the side)...
