Interesting video. The Dutch have really enabled alternative transport with well developed bike paths and frequently scheduled trains.
Canada and Oz share the population density and economy of scale issues to upgrading rail infrastructure.
Reportedly parts of the rail line between the capital Canberra and Sydney NSW still use jointed rail rather than continuously welded rail, though money has been allocated for upgrading. I rode on the Siemens-ABB tilt train on that clickity clack line in the 90’s and it was unable to really reach speeds to demonstrate the technology.
But clearly we like the concept.I see reports the USA is finally breaking out having to wait for freight trains and getting high speed interstate rail. That’s got to be exciting.
