Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway

Re: Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway
We have recently discussed not having any more large expansions for the time being, as we wanted to do more development of what we have. I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement if it means promoting a better integrated Keltia.
You are welcome to visit, and I can raise the issue in Parliament.

Re: Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway
Sorry to bump, but Pontus would be happy to sign such a document (subject to Parliamentary approval as our rail is state-owned) consistent with our earlier involvement in the Keltian Express project.
EDIT: Just a thought, would there be any problems envisaged with different gauges? Pontus uses standard gauge, but history shows that even within countries this can be a massive problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_gauge_in_Australia)

Sounds good! I can't remember who it was that said they'd draft something up, but it'd be great if this could happen

Re: Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway
Happy with Orion's earlier suggestions for the easement idea. Although I think it needs to be a little more specific in terms of what the easement would actually encompass (i.e. would it include track shared with other rail services? shared rail infrastructure?) and include metric measurements

Re: Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway
I think it would involve either one single gauge track or the use of variable gauge vehicles, depending on costs. Presumably, there would also be a provision to share the costs and profits of the railway between all member nations. We also need to agree on a route map and other such service details.

Re: Resurrection of the Trans-Keltian Railway
Sure, do we have an idea of what type of trains would be running along the line for gauge purposes? And/or could we have trains operating along parts of the line rather than having all of them travel from one end to the other?joefoxon wrote:I think it would involve either one single gauge track or the use of variable gauge vehicles, depending on costs.
