@lilylunatic @quinn tbh I don't think its for berlin - Warsaw, mind you we will have 320km/h EMU tender soon and they probably want to have a headstart

Jak przekazało nam Biuro Prasowe Siemens Mobility w Polsce, są to testy z myślą o przyszłościowej możliwości wykorzystania tych pociągów na trasie z Berlina do Warszawy.

@quinn @lilylunatic I mean, at that point we might have our share of velaros (and DB in its own bullshit style requires us to get something more than 200km/h gear if we wanna go to Amsterdam)

@lilylunatic @quinn anyway, I can say that times between Warsaw and Poznań will not drastically change despite building a whole new line, mostly because it's going a very roundabout way (that whole line is very much optimised for Wrocław lmao)

@jeder @quinn I‘d have to look up expected travel times- which will need to accommodate differentials in acceleration, stop density, …

@lilylunatic @jeder @quinn Probably good enough to stare at SNCF schedules if the service is supposed to have long French-style high speed sections

@lilylunatic @jeder yeah you probably want something that can use the high speed line between Hanover and Berlin if possible, otherwise it's just another train that fights for capacity with freight trains on overloaded tracks
