HAH: Reference: mmsen: Hi there! I frankly do not have a problem with the trains being brought here as I believe we should start from somewhere before using MAGLEV and its likes (since we lack electricity to power the machine and the lack of maintenance culture) and then convert these ones in the thread to maybe cargo trains as long as the funds are there. What I cannot stand is the hypocrisy of certain APC stalwarts who previously criticized the choice of trains brought by the previous administration and termed it obsolete. I clicked on this thread, hopeful that they are actually high speed trains as promised when many supporters flooded the net with pictures of PMB inspecting high speed trains from Japan. Talk about deceiving the populace with false information. A certain guy called LRNZH said when I once suggested to him that we should make do of these ones in Nigeria and when the use is high and as we bring in more, then we can start with the purchase of HS trains - "We have no business using outdated technologies when the world is seriously moving forward. Do you because we do not produce cars and phones, buy old modelled cars?" to paraphrase.

erico2k2: Cross Rail is being built to take some of the slack from the Central Line (and the other lines that run east-west in London) which is one of the most uncomfortable journeys during rush hour. HS2 is something else altogether. That's about implementing real high speed rail in England. Neither have anything to do with people campaigning for the return of state owned rail. |
Re: High Speed Trains Arrive Nigeria Months After Inspection In China (Photos) by erico2k2(m): 3:18pm On Dec 16, 2017 |
mmsen:cross Rail amd HS2 are same thing I work with them . Cross rail is HS1 . Some times its good to speak of what we k know . The problem with the UK Rail network is not quality rather capacity . The population is increasing so they need to expand capacity . So cross Rail and HS2 are not just London it's across the whole of England the cross rail. O's 118km operated by TFL and it cuts across existing stations in London . Why do U think we have cross rail stations at Liverpool street and St Pancras ? 1 Like |

sleepyeyez: This is mediocre. These politicians are robbing us of our future and we keep praising them. Is this the kind of train we need in the 21 century, we need to form a political party that exclude these set of politicians.. |
Re: High Speed Trains Arrive Nigeria Months After Inspection In China (Photos) by mmsen: 3:37pm On Dec 16, 2017 |
erico2k2: You're one to talk about 'speak of what you know'. HS2 is a high speed line from London to the Midlands and beyond Cross Rail is a line from one end of London to another. It will be managed by TfL. Neither address the issues that people have with privatized rail. You don't understand the issues. |

I can only imagine the joy, and delight going through the mind of any government officials reading this thread. Sadly, anyone having a contrary, critical view to this government is always labeled an envious hater. True high speed trains always have a curved front, why? Aerodynamics. This design lessens air resistance, hence conserving energy expenditure. I don't care about who started the importation process, because as far as I'm concerned, government is a continuum. Here are the questions I'm really interested in: How much was used to procure these trains? Could we have used the money to buy something more modern? How did the Chinese get to the front of the technological queue, did they do it by folding their arms, or by being proactive? Do we have to wallow in centuries of technological backwardness before we get developed? Don't you think it would be easier, and more beneficial if we utilize cutting-edge technology now? 1 Like |

Mr President, we the really true Nigerians appreciate once again your effort on another mile stone achievement. With the specification that this train is air conditioned and as a matter of fact even if the train is 250km/hour. I suggest that there should be speed limit on it. Cause driving at even 150km/hour is not safe with our topography. Well done Mr President and Hon minister of Transport. |

less than 30 billion dollars can fix nigeria's railway sector for good and put it at world standard.its a bold and massive project but would be worth every cent.but i guess nigeria is not yet at that point regardless of our vast resources which has been and would continue to be abused by our leaders... 1 Like |

erico2k2: Berkshire and Essex are in the London commuter belt and the line will be managed by TfL aka Transport for London. It's a different line from HS2. And it has nothing to do with the call for re-nationalization of the rail lines. |

mmsen:so Reading,Twyford and Maidenhead are London commuter belt the closest station to London is Slough and it's outside the M 25. Anyway U dnt have a clue . .Go back to Google again plzzzzzz Birkshire and Essex to London is like saying Lagos and Ondo are or Rivers and Delta are in same commute belt .
