@reece different trackage and right of way? yes, and even with a different guage for easier access to rolling stock, the HSR project like there I do not believe plans to be an open access system, but a closed loop unto itself.

@reece also I reach out here since I don't want to interact with substack, thank fuck they offer RSS feeds so i can read your blog!

@reece finally catching up to nextmetro- and great work, and I would really like to share some experience from local knowledge, the whole mess that is inter and intra city transit agencies, India somehow, falls into the same painful loop, within my City, we have at least 6 authorities each with different responsibilities. And for High Speed Rail, we are building new track that is a different guage from the rest of the country, how does one stop this deliberate mess?

@nthia LoRA?

@internetarchive did it really have to be automattic? could nobody step in to help bring this about?

also latest season made me realise, British Railway stuff is pretty interesting, much more akin in scheduling to Indian Railway stuff than those modern Europeans with their integrated clockface scheduling and international train services

god damn jetlag is great, i wanna play hide and seek in my city, it would be so diabolical, I mean half the city would be ruled out I guess of infrequent train and bus lines, but aaaaaaa, i want to become Ben
