What do you think of these railway projects?
Yes, this is all important and probably still too little to cover the necessary future capacities to comfortably transport people.
Railway is far too badly developed, there must be much more built.
I am for new routes, but you shouldn’t prefer the ICE routes because they are quite expensive with tunnels.
Train station constructions or new buildings are not necessary in most cases, so I basically reject.
All good and good. But you should once again offer traffic where (still) tracks lie.
There are no one here who knows all these projects with their benefits, costs and calculations, there will also be no one who can judge them.
