>>1039711They've done that, but it just isn't enough if you try (and have to) offer a metro-like service.
>>1039719Wooden ties have been standard untill they were banned some years ago because the conservation oil would harm the environment or something. It's mostly concrete now.
>>1039689S-s-single t-track?! But are those busy main lines? We have some of them as well but it's fine for quiet routes with trains running twice an hour or so. Been in hungary btw, loved your railways <3
>>1039601Great idea desu. Just pave those damn railroads and turn them into high speed bike lanes.
Pic somewhat related, a v250 train on the Amsterdam-brussels high speed railway some weeks before those trains were taken out of service for having various issues leading to morbidly dangerous situations. The trains were all sent back to their manufacturer who was forced to buy them back and the "high speed railway" is now used by normal trains. I have my reasons for nominating the NS for this thread
