"Polsza eto malienkaja strana" – 1 of the Russian musicians told me that I had the chance to work with. Why in a "little country" should trains travel at a large speed, drive long and long, brake to save a small time? It is worth remembering that energy consumption increases exponentially as velocity increases. Will people be willing to pay twice the price for a ticket in exchange for a fewer minutes little travel time?
It has already been pointed out many times that it may be about eliminating Polish producers from the tender for the transportation of trains, but it is worth paying attention to another aspect – it turns out that these highest speeds are only for Poznań – Warszawa routes. Donald Tusk explains this with the ambitions of Poles to have the fastest railway in Europe, but possibly the point is that trains fly between Berlin and Moscow, due to the fact that past directors foretell specified needs, and the distance between these cities is not small?
