If people really want a robust network of intercity buses, I think the existing Trailways Transportation System is what everyone should be looking at. Greyhound was always a centralized organization, so I don't see them going in that direction, its just not Greyhound's style. The independent...

This gets interesting. 10 trainsets are to be ordered. If they pick Siemens, two of the trainsets will be built in Germany, and the remaining 8 will be assembled in the US. If they go with Alstom, all 10 sets will be built at Alstom's manufacturing plant in Hornell...

The Belgian Eagles I've heard so much about their ride and I wish I had ridden one. The last Eagles under Greyhound ran into 2003 I think it was on local runs in Florida. The MC-5-8s had one thing on the Eagles, and that's longevity. While there were Eagles that did find second and even third...

The poor experiences of riding Greyhound can be traced back to John Teets and Fred Curry. They're the reason Greyhound is where its at in the present. So many people lost their jobs because of them. The drivers went through absolute hell, and the most senior drivers at the time simply quit when...

I remember that Scenicruiser, it use to be stored at ABC Companies in Florida. ABC donated that bus about 9 years ago I think it was to this museum.

Well, I figure this question was going to get asked sooner or later. Let's see, so far CAHSR is doing pretty well with its construction, of its initial operating phase. The environmental reviews for the segment between San Jose, Merced, and Madera have cleared, along with the Bakersfield to...

Awesome shots, this museum in Hibbing remains, because its not owned by Greyhound. There was another museum owned by Greyhound in LA that was closed last year. The entire collection from the second museum were sold to private collectors and bus museums thankfully. This museum in Hibbing looks...

To see Greyhound in the state its in now is a shame. I watch videos like this and I went, wow, what happened to this company.

Well early 2024 it is for the construction start. https://abc7.com/high-speed-rail-train-las-vegas-ranch-cucamonga/14169118/

The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor, despite the first phase of the corridor opening in October, expansion of the corridor has been ongoing as this video shows. Phase two is scheduled to open next year, with the third phase to open in 2025.

I saw this post and by now some have already said it, but I'll say what I told someone else on the same topic. The cost to upgrade the existing NEC for higher speeds than 160mph would be astronomical. You're better off building a new dedicated right of way, assuming you're able to get by the...

Looks like Brightline West isn't the only high speed rail project in the country getting $3 billion dollar grant. CAHSR is too! https://ktla.com/news/california/california-high-speed-rail-awarded-3b-by-biden-administration-largest-grant-in-its-history/

So here is some news. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/traffic/source-vegas-to-la-rail-project-lands-3b-in-federal-funds-2959581/

There are too many people assuming that if a bi level order does happen, the same issues found on the already worn out and non ADA complaint Superliner fleet will be present in the new cars.

In fairness, Amtrak was the first customer for the Avelias. The SNCF's version of the Avelia, called TGV Ms over there started testing on the SNCF's network as of a few months ago. It's a new product so there is bound to be issues. The X'Trapolis train family has been around since the 1990s, and...

Some news on this project. https://www.railwayage.com/regulatory/stb-advances-12b-brightline-west-project/

Pictures like this disputes all the double stack trains and inability to clear the wires nonsense. Plus its a daily thing on the corridor, which I don't understand why people ignore those movements of freight on the corridor...

I glanced at that bill on a Twitter post and it sounded so pathetically desperate. There are people in politics who need to seek mental help, due to some of the stuff they propose.

A lot of things are happening in 2024 when it comes to rail. Speaking of high speed trainsets, CAHSR in California is going to issue an RFP for high speed trainsets in Q1 of 2024, but as of now they're in the RFQ phase. I just hope the new Acelas have their issues worked out and the sets are...

Well after some delays, the Delhi–Meerut RRTS will open tomorrow or has opened. I saw news stories that it'll be known as the Namo Bharat.
