Were they hanging beneath a lampshade, perhaps?

For real. If those idiot neighbours would stop fucking around, we get trains from Wuhan to Bordeaux in about a week. It's a real game changer.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one. I'm still salty about Concorde (as any French person should be, really).

China is disagreeing, right now. Not disagreeing with your arguments, but they are definitely pushing a lot more than us because the amount of people you can move is ridonkulous compared to planes and cars, their geography seems to be helping and the technology is getting ridiculous (450kph trains, right now).

Somebody didn't watch Christophe Lambert's The Hunted...

We do. Not as much as we used to because privatisation is a plague upon mankind, also we have very diverse geography which makes developing new lines prohibitively expensive, even more so when you're a private company. Add to that a lack of political backing and yeah, it's all rather turgid, even if there are some extremely recent talks concerning transeuropean night trains and such.

Those are going to be for our nice flat and speedy routes no doubt, but hey, it's an effort in the right direction.

But yeah, things are not gonna get better fast as long as we are cursed with privatisation. What a shit show to see our glorious TGV reduced to a shell of its former self.

Meanwhile I just got an article yesterday that Wuhan is now connected to the super high speed network and the first 450kph train now connects it to Shanghai. Last time I was there the train was already TGV levels of speed and much more modern, and only a year later they are leaving us on the fucking dust...

The sign is so you know you're doing something verboten. So you feel guilty when you step around the fence.

I'm in this video and I don't like it...

As is tradition on 4chan, all greentexts stories are fake and gay. Jack is elegantly indicating this, by qualifying OP's post as being a fictional male homoerotic narrative.

You never been up the mountains the St Bernard live in. A wee drop of schnapps is a godsend!

You are not watching the right kind of propaganda from Japan, my young friend.
