CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoNo we need electrification of the fucking train tracks, the efficiency of hydrogen is absolutely unreasonable, especially for trains.

A part of the network is difficult to electrify and it cost a lot. So H2 still a good alternative.exoerinentation since 2016 show that it is successful. In France there is 1415 km electrified, the small network is representing 15 000 km. You ser the point ?

I see your point but the proportions are wrong. Wiki says that ~15,000 km are electrified out of 29,900 km

okay so it’s just counting the small/branch lines not the whole network.

Its a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run.

H2 yes probably

No just electrifying the tracks. Its cheaper in all regards, its a one time investment.
