NSG Senate Lobby: Bread, Circuses and Automatic Weapons

[The Nihilistic view]

Does anyone have a map of Europe with our country? I want to visualize where it is.

Looking at this map the bridge/tunnel would have to be around 100 miles long. x 2

[Maklohi Vai]

That's impossible. There is no such bridge infrastructure.

EDIT: And you can't build that infrastructure either.

Who said that a bullet train has to be above ground?

Ok then. There's no infrastructure for underground or undersea bullet trains for the route you have specified, and you cannot create it either.

What is that... thing bordering Aurentina to the south.

This is going to be very hard to initiate. I would think the French govt would be worried about it as a threat to TGV profits which are already in decline, and they do need this profit to pay off its public debt. Can we do some consultation first about this? This will have to involve some regional collaboration of transport minstries.

This is going to be very hard to initiate. I met up with 3 French bureaucrats last night for dinner last night in Nice, Pierre Moscovici (Minister of Economy and Finance), Arnaud Montebourg (Minister of Industry and Growth), Frédéric Cuvillier (Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy - which runs transport as well), and also Guillaume Pepy (CEO of SNCF, the French National Rail Network). They are worried about it as a threat to TGV profits which are already in decline, and they need this profit to pay off its public debt. As a result they said that the French government will do what it can to stop Aurentina's rail projects in France, and instead may extend TGV investment to this. Quite frustrating the protectionism the socialists are getting to.

I'll edit it, as per procedure.

I am now copyrighting the idea for a bullet train from Paris France, through Aurentina's Capital, then stopping at Rome.

I am copyrighting the idea to copyright bad ideas.

I dont think either of those is copyrightable. The design would be.

He is only trying it because I rejected his offer of investment.

[Macedonian Grand Empire]

Even as you accepted it he would not be able to pay out as he is under investigation.

Funny thing is that he obviously doesn't know the name of our capital.

Don't high speed trains increase cabin pressure going through tunnels at speed?

[The Nihilistic view]

Don't high speed trains increase cabin pressure going through tunnels at speed?

Yes I believe so, to stop that from having an effect one needs to build service shafts up to the surface with high speed tunnels. I believe that's one reason why the channel tunnel train has a speed limit of only 90 odd MPH. Much faster and the problems you allude to would start to begin. Speed limits in the Channel Tunnel are dictated by air-resistance, energy heat dissipation due to the shape of the tunnel.

PS: You might need to zoom in to properly see the rail systems.

[Costa Fierro]

We already have a rail network.

Well good luck funding that with your assets frozen and without any backers.

What ticket Prices? And what top speed?
