While high speed trains reach speeds up to around 350kmh ordinary trains reach speeds up to around 250kmh.

So while high speed trains can go about 50% faster than ordinary trains the price tag for building and maintaining is many times more expensive compared to ordinary railway.

So let's start maintaining the railways we have and build more. Making sure that it's possible to go from point A to point B safely and in time

Then we start building high speed railways, connecting major cities.
