Der Entgegner (Aka Ratatöskr)@xyla Please explain the assumption that Germany has no proper hi-speed rail.
The ICE is a very fast and comfortable train, making 300 km/h on the passage from Berlin to Munich. (4 hrs. with stops!)
the TGV is 20 kmh faster. So what?
@dr_jo_mue uh oh looks like i stepped on the ego
@xyla Spare me your ad hominem reflexes. It was just factually wrong.
@dr_jo_mue bestie it’s a funny image on the internet posted from an instance called “shitpost.trade”, what did you expect
@xyla It's rather what you wrote. But that aside, we really have great trains in Germany but many people belittle the railway system and prefer driving their silly overpowererd cars, wasting CO2. I tink that misperception has a massive climate impact.
canleaf08✅ 加拿大葉子 🏳️🌈⚧️🇪🇺🍁@dr_jo_mue @xyla Who is at helm in Berlin? why are 100s of km of railway infrastructure abandonned? Blame the CDU and the SPD.
Leeloo@dr_jo_mue @xyla
Objecting to jokes being factually incorrect - you must be the most boring person on the planet.
Do you also watch documentaries only, because movies are fiction?
Martin Ueding@dr_jo_mue @xyla
Wuhan to Beijing, 1050 km, 4:20 h, two stops. Average is 240 km/h. It was on time, clean, everyone had a seat reservation and I got hot food in the restaurant car.
Do we have something like this in Germany?
@martin_ueding @dr_jo_mue @xyla Do you have human rights in China with that? safe structures? Air filter?
ClickyMcTicker@dr_jo_mue @xyla I calculated an average of 130km/h using a rough travel distance/time of 585km and 4.5h. The former is using car directions and the latter is what maps report the train takes. That’s a far cry from 300km/h.
Alexander Knochel@dr_jo_mue @xyla Maybe what they mean is that as opposed to France with their centralized LGVs running through from the periphery to Paris, we have a bit of a patchwork of very high speed lines and slower lines shared by other services and cargo, requiring more slowing down and waiting on any given trip, but still, I think it'd be pretty decent network with better coverage if they maintained everything properly

puppy treat research centre@dr_jo_mue @xyla at least the TGV does not shit itself on a daily basis huh
Felix@dr_jo_mue @xyla only some of them are able to reach 300. And the 4:05 can also be done with the slow ones reachinh only 266.
SonstHarmlos@dr_jo_mue @xyla The problem is not maximum speed, but the „patchwork“ nature of the network - which means that every longer train ride is a mixture of high-speed lines and legacy infrastructure, which is overloaded and quite often shared with regional and freight trains, causing frequent delays.
Jérôme Petazzoni@dr_jo_mue @xyla lol, okay, I'll bite
I travel frequently between Berlin and Paris by train.
It takes almost 6 hours to do Berlin-Strasbourg (about 750km), and less than 2 hours to do Strasbourg-Paris (about 500km).
The effective speed on that route is therefore 125 km/h on the German section, and 250 km/h on the French section.
(This is for the express train that only stops in Frankfurt, Mannheim, Karlsruhe. If you take other trains the German section is even slower.)
That's why some people consider German trains to be slow as fuck. I hope from the bottom of my heart that it'll get better once the big infrastructure works that are currently underway are complete, and that it can bring the Berlin-Paris trip to 6 hours or less - ideally with more than a single departure per day at 7am, and more like the comparable Lille-Marseille route (1000km in less than 5 hours, with 5+ departures per day).
Oh also don't get me started on comfort in ICE trains - I'd pick 2nd class TGV over 1st class ICE any day, mostly because of the size and position of the tablets.

Joel VanderWerf@xyla That's a close runner up to the excessively literal (and ineffectually humorous) German joke in the Monty Python skit:
"Der ver zwei peanuts, valking down der Straße, und von vas assaulted...peanut. Ohohohoho!"

Kevin Huigens🕯I live less than 100m from train tracks. Definitely do not want this.
Woozle Hypertwin@xyla Aha, now supersonic travel is within the grasp of everyone! Thanks, Germany! :D
@xyla This doesn't do the Germans justice. Look at Musk.
