    Why blame chinese, thats how anything evolves in the world by tech democratization otherwise progress will die with one person only. We are looking for the same when it comes to aircraft engines....Magic is continuous evolution and overall execution and upkeep. I traveled both Japanese and...

    They were in the race till the Galwan incidents and then GOI started excluding them from not just HSR but also other sectors like 5G and so on, I was just mentioning about deployed HSR countries that are capable of end to end projects in this space including trains. Only Japanese HSR overseas...

    Besides I am just thinking which other player can compete with Shinkansen as only Euro, Japanese and Chinese with the later being big players in the market. Bombardier does not play in that space and we should not invite them being canadian under that hermaphrodite anti Hindu turd. I am assuming...

    If Chinese are excluded then mostly Kawasaki is the only player and I really don't see Alstom or Spanish one matching the Japanese level.

    It is certainly a speed class system based on density, economic value in connecting a route and so on.....existing rail infra should be upgraded to support upto 150 km but this will only happen if freight gets its own in major corridors otherwise signaling and timing would limit speeds only to...

    This is quite so in countries but in India being so dense, this connectivity will spawn entirely new economic growth areas and reduce airports crowding and so on.....only high density routes will see this first but with foreign investment this can be done and should be done. A 1000 to 1200km...

    Primary reasons are multifold, lack of grand vision being the top most but with economy reaching 5T mark, it is inevitable we bring changes to get the supply chains clustered together like China and have seperate lines for freight. Freight is part of reason for slow trains, other being bridges...

    I think with everythjing going cashless, these service problems sure have light at the end of tunnel in near future. Service and hygiene in general improved for sure in some railway zones, some are still in very poor shape and maintained really bad. I found SCR better than WR overall with...

    Someone can correct me here but from my experience in riding bullet trains in China and Japan, you only pass express trains at stations on parallel lines and I never saw a bullet train passing another express train outside stations and stations are generally seperate....like shin osaka for...

    Not really, the tracks are primarily shinkansen lines and not shared. Technically may be same guage (not sure) but not shared with express trains if I remember correctly. Just overall so much better experience compared to airport cattle experience in coach, love the nozomi and hikari's overall...

    Bullet trains similar to Chinese HSR or Japanese Nozomi or Hikari would require concrete foundations and welded rails of high grade steel and so many other low tolerance requirements, most likely our upgrades will be a huge step up overall with reasonable investments and should be sufficient but...

    Bullet trains are complex and requires vast investments as tolerances are less but worth it. Mumbai to Ahmedabad will create the momentum in other parts of country, India is one place where it might actually be profitable if done correctly due to density from North to South and East to West over...

    Actually there are standards and codes on the frequency of curves in a given distance and type of terrain and what not.....also lot of railway land is encroached over time too and ballast stolen and what not. My uncle used to be CE in South Central zone and Western I think. Our signaling system...
