Our friend, Radek, came back from Mongolia with many stories to tell. We spent the first hour listening to the tales and looking at pictures. It sounds like it was an incredible adventure riding yaks, horses camels, sleeping in yurts.
Meanwhile in Poland:
Poland is planning to buy 26 trains capable of traveling at over 300 km/h for its new high-speed rail network, Deputy Infrastructure Minister Piotr Malepszak has said.
The high-speed “Y” rail network, designed for speeds of up to 350 km/h, will link Warsaw with the western cities of Wrocław and Poznań through the city of Sieradz. The 480-kilometer route will travel via the as yet unbuilt Central Transportation Hub, a multi-billion plan to create an integrated plane, train and road network.
Poland currently has no trains running above 200 km/h, a mark that is often considered as a “high-speed” threshold.
