If we want speed why not take an airplane. We need trains that can carry large number of people at good speeds. These high speed trains do not have more than 5-6 compartments. Indian trains have up to 22-23 compartments.

Ever heard of carbon neutral travel? High speed trains will make people use less of air travel and promote carbon neutral travel.

Very soon all Asia will become in control of china & his ally If India don't grow in future with more then 10 percent GDP mor then China then very soon all Asia and India will become in control of china and his ally pakistan. China is already a superpower and 2nd largest Economy in the world.China army is capable to destroy any spy satellites in sky,china has fastest train in the world. India is a very small fry in front of him. Most powerful country in the world USA is also under 1 trillion debt of China.

Many cases you are right. But if we stop corruption and throw our dump politicians india will over take china in few years time.
we indians dont need these fast trains.when our trains running at 50-70 kmph are sabotaged just imagine what will happen to these high speed trains.thanks to the british govt. who is responsible for such a vast railway network in india.to hell and sh#t to our politicians.
Till we don't change costtution in a revololutanary fashion, nothing is going to work. Days are not far when people themselves write constitution on road.
CRH380As, which clocked 420km/h on the newly opened Shanghai-Hangzhou HSR and is capable of top operational speed of 380km/h. A CRH380BL left the factory gate a couple of weeks back and is preparing for a go at 450km/h very soon. China is also in the midst of building het 1st 500km/h train for technology test and demonstration purposes. This ultra-fast train is scheduled to roll off the production line in March 2011 and will aim for new world record on the 1318-km COMMERCIAL (the French 574km/h record was achieved on a strecth of testing tracks) HSR line linking Beijing and Shanghai.

Then there is the CRH380C that we can look forward to in 2011. By the end of 2012 there will be at least 6 types of 380km/h or plus trains serving a high-speed rail network measuring 12,000km in length: CRH380As, CRH380ALs, CRH380Bs, CRH380BLs, CRH380Cs, and CRH380CLs.

india dont show , so india dont need toilet,you guys shit on streets.
Please remember that India is not China. Here there is a democracy and all of you have a voice and platform to express it. In democracy it will take time as people resort to courts for greivance redressal when they are affected by new initiatives. Courts will take time to decide. These are the inherent constraints in a democracy. We cannot compare with USA also who has three times the land size and three times less population. I'm not saying the political parties are noble and they are taking initiatives. But inherently ours is a slow moving machine. If we talk to the rural poor they would not be thinking about high speed trains. Rather they are fighting for three square meals daily without interruption. The government need to prioritize that education and healthcare before coming to high speed rail network. If we argue that private coroprations can do without government getting involved, the private parties will not care a damn about the people affected. The government cannot be blind to those issues. It will create a social problem between the haves and the have nots.

@Sesha, Your post suggests that it is high time for the elite class to leave this land and never return.
It is slow, it has problemes..oh how bad can a country be ? Haven't seen hell yet but it must be similar to India.

yes frank, you are right. After having lived in shanghai, I myself dont feel like living in this inhuman conditions in india.
Re: Re: Re: All those people who are awestruck at China...
by Sesha on Nov 19, 2010 03:04 PM
So why did you come back here? It is not that you knew about this after having returned from Shanghai. Before leaving to Shanghai itself you would have known that there are no trains running at 350 kmph? isn't it?
Re: Re: Re: Re: All those people who are awestruck at China...

Secondly, try to learn something from the world. I had been to Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai Africa etc. Shanghai was recent one. I did not travel for the first time you dumb idiot

Mr Shrikanth,
What makes you think I'm ugly or for that matter. Trying to learn from the world? Let's learn how to remove poverty rather than showing this mindset about rapacious urge to accumulate material things. L

Frank,
What elite class are we talking about. The elite class in this country will not be even 1% and the ever greedy middle class will not be more than 20%. The government need to address 80% of the people which is more than 800 million. The elites have the means so why don't they go wherever they feel it is heaven. Why complain sitting here?

FYI - China is far better,if you go against national interest you get bullet.NATION COMES FIRST. Let us not compare with a prosperous nation like USA.
Here all sorts of thiord class people live,they object to development and govt is corrupt and nothing works here.

and who gets to decide Frank who's going against "NATIONAL INTEREST"!! see it's easy to criticize your own country for development work vis-a-vis China, because you have the right to do that..but well u always have the right to foresake all such rights & head to China!!!
Re: Re: Re: All those people who are awestruck at China...
by Sesha on Nov 19, 2010 06:34 PM
and Frank will you be benevolent to give your land at throw away prices if the government asks for a project at the price that the government offers? Those land are the life time earnings of people. It cannot be taken away just because some people who stayed in a foreign country and is fancying things like high speed railway right?
