The problem with many of them is that once the train doesn't have a pointy nose it is old craps that's no longer in use. Ignorance is a disease.

[quote author=Holamscoh post=63329725][/quote]it is true na the Nigerian government has really turned us to illiterate and dummies. Imagine a Nigerian travelling out of the country and telling others that is a fast train. We don't even have XDM to deposit money instead of going to the counter, just like ATM. And they are calling fast train. Assholes!

According to reports, the 10 standard-gauge trains were ordered by Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) in May this year. They have adopted Chinese standards, and will be the fastest trains running in Africa, with a design speed of 160 km/h. Operation speed could be as high as 150 km/h.

This is Heart Breaking News to the wailers.

What does Track has to do with trains??
Are you for real?

Those tracks are only suitable for Trams( street trains) and very low speed say 30km/r.....

A speed train needs a more heavier dense sophisticated track! Most times a speed train isn't visible in the city .... Has its special tracks and terminals to connect city's at different Train stations

1. Stop calling these "high speed trains".
2. Show me documentation to prove that what we paid to get these refurbished 1980 things is not more than the cost of TGVs.

Sorry dude, you got the wrong guy. Maybe poverty runs in your family, but not in mine. Ignorance, nay stupidity is when you say something about someone you don't even know on a faceless forum with so much conviction.

Now run along and go display your stupidity somewhere it will be appreciated. Surely not on my mentions.

If we are to focus on semantics, actually, you can call them high speed trains. The term obviously has a broader usage. In truth, it is just a case of constantly upgraded technology. The first Japanese trains to be called bullet trains where built in 1964. I'm sure you can'tcompare them to today's models. In the same vein a mobile phone from 1995 doesn't stop being a mobile phone simply because there a newer, more techy models. Again, talking semantics.

Below is an interesting read too. Personally, I don't think we have the right kind of train tracks for the very high speed trains some people are expecting.


The International Union of Railways (UIC) identifies three categories of high-speed rail:

Category I – New tracks specially constructed for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 250 km/h (155 mph).
Category II – Existing tracks specially upgraded for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 200 km/h (124 mph).
Category III – Existing tracks specially upgraded for high speeds, allowing a maximum running speed of at least 200 km/h (124 mph), but with some sections having a lower allowable speed (for example due to topographic constraints, or passage through urban areas).
A third definition of high-speed and very high-speed rail (Demiridis & Pyrgidis 2012) requires simultaneous fulfilment of the following two conditions:[4]

Maximum achievable running speed in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph), or 250 km/h (155 mph) for very high-speed,
Average running speed across the corridor in excess of 150 km/h (93 mph), or 200 km/h (124 mph) for very high-speed.
The UIC prefers to use "definitions" (plural) because they consider that there is no single standard definition of high-speed rail, nor even standard usage of the terms ("high speed", or "very high speed"wink. They make use of the European EC Directive 96/48, stating that high speed is a combination of all the elements which constitute the system: infrastructure, rolling stock and operating conditions.[3] The International Union of Railways states that high-speed rail is a set of unique features, not merely a train travelling above a particular speed
. Many conventionally hauled trains are able to reach 200 km/h (124 mph) in commercial service but are not considered to be high-speed trains. These include the French SNCF Intercités and German DB IC.
