That is so good to hear, especially with how hostile the admin is towards them. You can’t argue with increased ridership. I know in the PNW where I am the Cascades keeps adding trains, and they keep filling them to capacity. People are sick of driving, the proof is there. Even in rural midwest the Borealis from MSP to Chicago has been a wild success, proving that it’s not just coastal elites who are tired of driving everywhere.
Amtrak did a good job admitting that no, they can’t compete with the long-haul routes because both financially and time-wise they fail compared to flying. These shorter “cooridor” trips though are perfect for them, and I think we’ll keep seeing massive success there. Flying Portland<->Seattle is ridiculus, < 2 hours, and you have to go all the way out of town to the airport. The train is 4 hours, but it’s comfier, cheaper, more friendly towards the environment, and you can catch it right downtown. Same with Minneapolis to Chicago. People are realizing it’s worth maybe an extra hour to not deal with flying.
They really need to add trains between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Both cities have an Amtrak station, but somehow, not an available option. It would be massive money for them.
well they’re attempting that with Brightline West, but I haven’t heard anything positive from them in a while. I agree though, the tracks are there, even if it’s not super duper fast I know that corridor, I can’t imagine every person driving that is super thrilled to be driving. I’m sure a good chunk of them would be willing to add an hour or two on to not have to drive, and let’s be real you don’t need a car in vegas.

European Sleeper believes that the Paris-Berlin night train is economically viable
based on what? Two other companies have stopped this because it wasn't economically viable. This feels like some train-fan-boy pipe dream rather than an economic reality.
Big shift ahead—GWR’s renationalisation marks a major turn in UK rail policy. Could signal broader changes in public transport strategy. Official Website
The usual politics and indifference: SNCF is unable to create a ticketing system+frontend clean enough that they can fix and integrate easily to sell cross-country tickets (“Une erreur c’est produite” has been the motto of their user frontend for 20 years already), other technical details are even more preposterous:
ÖBB uses a leased Siemens Vectron locomotive for the Nightjet to Brussels, but that option is not open here – France is pretty much the only standard gauge European country where Vectron is not approved to run.
If this wasn’t Thibault, I would have believed this as another implausible project by some bro who rode the train twice in his life. I wish them good luck but can’t really that much, being in another country , Ro, with even worse train situation :)))
Not really. The speeds of trains is still a major constriction and Indian Railways is a major laggard vis a vis say, China. Sure, some aspects are advancing (electrification for one, 90%+ tracks are electrified) but high speed rail is still in it’s infancy (still under construction with help from Japan).
