>>1226037The tracks were built specifically to allow higher speeds, and so were the trains.
>>1226097>Signals need to be repositioned to account for the higher speedJesus christ why don't you people shut up about technical details if you don't know anything about the actual railway infrastructure?
The high speed network in Italy doesn't have signals. It's all done via RF. Changing the block section length would just be a matter of a software update.
It's probably just because they decided the cost of increased wear on the tracks isn't worth the extra 50km/h after all.
