    Haha, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a train going over 120km/h in Europe 😅

    Edit: sorry I lied, the Pendolino in Finland between Helsinki and Tampere can go between 180-200km/h

      Oh you’re European, yeah the reason why I’m not a fan of these older stocks is because in most of America we only have older trains. Desperate improvements are needed to US rail infrastructure including electrification and the introduction of modern stock. I get older stock is nice for a museum but we sorta need trains that can take us places.

        Yeah I’ve heard the railway network in US is like terrible

        I did have the opportunity to ride a metro there in San Francisco, which wasn’t too bad besides the difficulties figuring out how the fuck do I buy a ticket and get in 🤣 But that’s about as annoyingly difficult in every city I’ve ever visited. Bonus points for Copenhagen, where I needed to ask help from a local and still did it wrong lmao
