ooh actually this would make a really cool flow diagram

i could define the velocities as always being towards Paris

would have to think about what to do about flows that cross though 🤔

@bovine3dom unfortunately the original source doesn't seem to be loading for me but here's an article about this data vis/art project where they highlighted all the rome- (and other city-) pointing roads https://mymodernmet.com/all-roads-to-rome-project-map/
Designers Map Out All the Roads That Really Lead to Rome

Everyone is familiar with the saying "All roads lead to Rome," dating back to a time when all empirical roads radiated out from the capital of

@ktyl @bovine3dom I’m now wondering if we can manage an “all trains lead to Vienna” map similar to that ;)

@moof ooh that's cool. but what i want to do is cooler because i think fast trains are fun

i have probably been living in France too long

@bovine3dom @ktyl I dunno, I like the swoops towards Paris there…

@moof yeah. it's a more solid basis. ugly duckling phase let's call it. but somewhere along the line (hah) i've introduced a bug where some speeds are insane, like, 65,000km/h

@bovine3dom @moof with a /little/ bit more work you might achieve ftl speeds (igmc)

@Tho99 hah.

it was a really classic dumb bug. initially i was taking the average and when i changed it to max i forgot to change it to max in all the branches, so some of the speeds ended up getting added. which when you have 100+ intercity trains a day along a route... 🚀
