  • How deep inside your own ass do you have to be to propose MODERNISING THE ENTIRE RAILWAY NETWORK to be a viable solution to anything?

    That's a Polish company apparently. My fellow compatriots, you fucking know how rail operates in Poland. We bought high-speed trains that couldn't go at any high speed because there weren't any actual rails that would allow them to. Whenever there is even small maintenance work of a small tract of the network half of the fucking country is ground to a standstill. Honestly, building a whole new separate rail system for your invention would be a MORE REASONABLE proposition, it probably wouldn't be much more expensive, and wouldn't paralyse the existing network.

    • This sounds like a great setup for an episode of "Well There's Your Problem."

      Are these guys any relation to that "Newag" outfit that tried to brick a train after detecting a third-party repair?

      • doesn't seem so, but they do brag about their involvement in related startup "Hyper Poland" (it's about hyperloop clone or something like that) and some of Musk's business. CEO is a finbro manager, but they seem to have some actual engineers and some people that worked in railway industry in the past. deeply unserious overall
