      Shocking how much rail we destroyed because we favoured road traffic. When studying for a history exam in university I remembered this one fun fact, that in 1880, not even 50 years after the first railway line was opened up in Germany, we had about 30.000 km of Rail, which is just a bit less than what we have today. In the meantime another 20.000 km were built and consequently destroyed again.

      You can see in Ireland since partition in 1921 how much rail was lost along the new border as time went on. The big gap in rail today follows the border counties north and south.

      What are you doing? Why are you posting a map of Europe with the UK, Norway and Switzerland on it? Don’t you know it’s forbidden?

      I wish there was another color in existence, and then we wouldn’t have to distinguish it by thickness.

      Ireland has set aside ~€40b (Funding is 75% Irish government, 25% EU) to upgrade existing lines, reopen old lines and create new lines over the coming 20 years.

      The same thing was done in the 2000’s and between 2000 and 2020 Ireland went from 1 motorway to an entire motorway network connecting pretty much the whole country.

      Plan is to do the same now but for rail.

      It’s wrong. Spain’s first line opened in 1848.

      Edit: If you go in the source and zooooooooom a lot you can see that there’s actually a line in Spain. It’s very hard to see because it’s behind the border between Spain and the sea.

      I didn’t know that the blue banana was this much ahead in 1850 that there was literally nothing outside it. Not even something like Rome-Naples or Madrid-Valencia.
