ThailandRyan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Speed away, and will it bring in commerce with each run? Good luck with creating jobs for foreign companies and not your own low income folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, rants over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Do you need a high speed train for a distance of 150 miles, especially as it has 5 stops. A decent normal speed train would be more than sufficient. But i guess not enough kick backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
