New high-capacity railroad planned for South Africa

[Polymathic]

Zimbabwe?

Alexander Bay is in the Northern Cape

 

[pinball wizard]

If only we had thought of this earlier and just maintained the existing railway at the port

That phrase is not in the cANCer playbook.

 

[pinball wizard]

Didnt we spend a billion bux on trains sometime back and they still havent arrived yet? What happened to that money?
Nee jinne, I am never voting ANC again

The too tall ones? Some of them arrived before the deal was cancelled with the Spaniards.

Aaaah yes those ones, I thought they were too fat for the tracks or something
That was a ton of cash down the drain, all seems forgotten now

Get ready for a flustercuck on this scale or worse.

First fix the potholes you idiots.

We need good quality rail transport. It doesn't necessarily need to be fast for freight. Just reliable.

Hi speed Passenger rail is not really viable for business travel, it is just too far. Cannot beat planes.

So real high speed doesn't make sense. It would be nice if it could be better, faster and more reliable than cars/trucks/busses.
There's most likely a optimal point between speed vs cost for the project.

Hope one day etoll gantries will get this treat

finally something useful comes from the oxygen thieves. stealing and destroying etoll gantries.

Hey 875km/h is possible... In Star Trek

If we're going Star Trek style, then why even have a train... just replicate the cars in the EC instead, and we can transport between JHB and CT instantly.

Why even bother replicating in EC? Will GP not have it's own replicators? I wonder if people realise that the transporter is actually killing you and rebuilding a clone of you every time you use one.

Well purely because we need a shipping industry, so we don't want to use a transporter to send the cars to their destination... Eskom and all that you know

Wanting to protect those obsolete jobs already.

Nah, this clusterfsck has been ongoing for nearly a decade now...
The old DIA is totally buttfscked in terms of ever being an airport again. The runway is trashed, the terminal is pretty much destroyed now as well.

Nah, robotic ships..

I want to see a merger of the Star Trek and the Asimov style worlds..

Hi gh speed train ...lol..

Meanwhile the squatter camp down the road from me fkd up the line when they got miff with the local councilors etc and stopped trains on this route (to Botswana) for near on three months....

The usual cANCerous pie in the sky outlook...

 

[wingnut771]

There is a big flaw in their "plan":
