Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

  • I've been experimenting with low waisted jeans lately, and it's all good until you need to sit down.

    • I feel like I'm too tall to find a pair I'd feel comfortable in. How do you like them compared to other styles?

      • I'm not sure yet. I like that they show off my waist, but I definitely find them a lot harder to style. With higher waisted jeans it feels like you can chose a top at random and it's gonna look decent, but at least for me it's very easy for my body to look awkward with a lower waistline, and I have to be very careful about what I'm wearing on my upper body to avoid that.

        • Low rise jeans and such can end up making your torso look longer, which is not always desirable. I have a few though cuz they're kinda fun and cheap at a thrift.
