It looks like visible effects of competition are now happening on French high-speed lines: SNCF is now offering tickets up 9 months ahead (until December 13th) on competitive lines: mastodon.social/@jeanbaptistem

This is pushed by Trenitalia opening tickets 6 months ahead (until September 11th today) on Paris-Marseille: liberation.fr/lifestyle/consom

Calendrier des ventes d'été SNCF
MastodonJean-Baptiste 1.2.Train (@jeanbaptistemarie@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image Ne râtez pas demain l'ouverture des ventes d'été sur les billets de train. Pour la toute première fois, il sera possible de prendre ses billets jusqu'à 6 mois à l'avance sur les TGV Paris - Lyon, Paris - Marseille et Paris - Montpellier. Idem sur les TGV vers la Suisse, l'Italie et l'Espagne. Pour les autres TGV et pour les Intercités, les billets seront disponibles pour les trains qui circulent du 5 juillet au 31 août. Il paraît qu'1.2.Train est pas mal pour prendre son billet rapidement 😉

@larstransportworld That’s a great map (and definitely all due credit to France), but it’s also a very depressing reminder that, over 40 years since the #LGV network started, the •entirety• of the #UK #HighSpeedRail network still fits in a corner of the French map! 😢

(Haphazard progress is being made on a savagely truncated #HS2 route, and at least we do have fairly extensive #MediumSpeedRail (200 km/h max) service on many InterCity routes, but it is beyond ridiculous that UK is so far behind.)

Withholding appropriated #California #HighSpeedRail funds under false pretenses would be illegal and unconstitutional, but nonetheless, it would also be hurting jobs and infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of #Trump & MAGA voters.

I drew a line approximating the CAHSR initial operating segment over the 2024 county-by-county presidential electoral map. De-railing this project is sticking it to Trump's own base, not coastal liberal elites.

a 2024 electoral map of California by county. red areas were majority trump voters, blue were harris. a yellow line drawn on this map indicates approximately the path between Merced and Bakersfield, indicating the initial operating segment of high speed rail is to primarily help Trump voting areas.

While our southern neighbors' late-stage capitalism autocrats are busy speedrunning the sabotage of their country and trying to bully my country as collateral, up here we're having a “F' it, enough debates, let's launch our own high-speed inter-city rail infrastructure project to serve 40% of the population and boost the local economy” moment 🤷

Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled after elections in Q4 🤞

Well holy high speed rail Batman, they’re building it!!

Initial planning cost of $4 Billion, final construction of the 1000km, 300kph line between Toronto and Quebec City could be up to the cost of 4 #TMX pipelines. ($80B).

Montreal to Toronto in 3hrs.

A large consortium is the winning bid and includes France’s SNCF and Air Canada.

The cost of this one (horrific) instance of wildfires in Los Angeles will be more than the total cost of building high speed rail from LA to San Francisco.

That is under the current, incredibly inefficient, construction regime designed to funnel public money into private hands.

Don't buy the lie that it's too expensive.

Elon Musk has been trying to kill California’s high-speed rail project for over a decade. It’s the only reason he started pushing the Hyperloop as an alternative.

Now he’s planning to use his influence with Trump to ensure its federal funding gets cut off.

@straphanger In comparison to the #Supermétro in #Paris ⬆️, the #Hyperloop prototyped by #ElonMusk could probably shuttle dozens of #billionaires per day between #LosAngeles and #LasVegas. 😂

I much prefer the coming #BrightlineWest #HighspeedRail that is part of the infrastructure accomplishments of a not-made-for-TV #POTUS. #ThanksJoeBiden ! gobrightline.com/press-room/20
