I mean, after the first time, the train will fit.
This is all related to that study showing that penises have gotten larger, right?
Interesting given that my prior is that Spain is one of the most economical and reliable builders of rail transit in the world. Of their 15 projects over 5 cities in the Transit Costs Project dataset, their median rail line cost $138m/km (inflation- and PPP-adjusted), vs. $656m for UK, $611m for US, $308m for Japan, and $199m for Germany. Perhaps their national procurement is less functional than urban/regional, who knows.
Correction: $291m for Germany. I had let a couple of Greek projects slip in there.
You have to watch those fuckers.
5: Sounds like you might have a problem suitable for "Ask the Mineshaft".
This was really an entirely foreseeable direction for this conversation to have gone.
You killed the blog with self-awareness.
Kind of disappointing to learn this detail:
The government has, however, previously been at pains to insist that the errors had been spotted before any train was built
7: it's quite possible that they're cheap, but shit. Santa Barbara Sistemas is one of the contractors for our hopelessly cursed AJAX armoured vehicle and one of the problems turns out to be that the hulls are not square, as in, they randomly have one side longer than the opposite one.
You should try sloped armor. Lower profile, harder to hit. Plus the angle means that the effective thickness of the armor is greater if hit straight on.
15: On closer examination, these estimates attempt to subtract out rolling stock - it's more about track and stations.
Aluminum extrusion works this way, it's pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiGlq7408ME
