    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
