    TGV: Liaison Windsor - Québec

    Grumpy a répondu à un sujet de mtl_yul dans Visions

    Only a month in service , the latest high speed line (TGV Est) in France from Paris to Strasbourg/Stuttgart/Frankfurt and Zurich transported already more than 1.000.000 passengers... The TGV composition is going to be changed early september : 2 TGV instead one!!

    I am glad it never got built , it would have been an icon of the famous Drapeau era where everything was huge but very expensive

    I never heard a negative comment about this city and believe me everyone around here knows the city. Saying the word Montréal brings good news to people imo, its always followed by a wow , what a city. It is certainly one of the most popular city trips here in Belgium

    voiçi quelques images j'ai pris de l'entrée de la gare de Lille Europe:

    Wrote them a letter , the city is rather generous to send me documents. Once I've asked the entire "Havre2000" plan and they send me a copy to my home , nice isn'it
  11. Grumpy
    des anciennes vestiges peut etre mais ce n'est pas l'endroit où ils etaient construit , il y a 300 années environs
  12. Grumpy
    nice photography , the first pictures show a kind of density people seems to unknown
  13. Grumpy
    lovely angles with a nice combination of colours , I like what you made
  14. Grumpy
    what a lovely update , merci

    je sais voir les images mais ils sont un peut trop petit a mon avis, dommage

    TGV: Liaison Windsor - Québec

    + there is no market for this at all.There is no enough population in QC for a TGV-line. In France the works have begun for a new line from Montbard to Mulhouse connecting 2 existing TGV-lines (Sud-Est : Paris - Lyon/PACA & LGV-Est : Paris/Allemagne) : projet Rhin/Rhône The Rhine-Rhone high-speed line consists of three branches: the Eastern branch, the Western branch and the Southern branch. The whole Rhine-Rhone high-speed project may be likened to a three-pronged star: - the Eastern branch, between the Dijon (Genlis) and Mulhouse (Lutterbach) urban areas, with 190 km of new line. - the Western branch, from the Western end of the Eastern branch towards Paris via Dijon. - the Southern branch, from the junction of the two other branches towards Lyon. A view of the track: http://www.lgvrhinrhone.com/medias/pdf/medias79.pdf http://www.rff.fr/biblio_pdf/lgv_RR_BE.pdf A project with a difference : Journey times With the very first tranche of the Eastern branch, journey times for a large number of origin-destination pairs will be substantially reduced. A project with a difference : Key figures A few figures illustrating the scale of France’s biggest civil engineering project - 140 km of line, including 40 % through forests - 85 municipalities - 6,000 site-related jobs - 160 bridges - 12 viaducts - 12-km long tunnel - 400 km of fencing - 500,000 sleepers - 2 new stations - 24 million m³ of excavations - 18 million m³ of embankment A project with a difference: timelines The line will be built in two stages: earthworks and civil engineering structures between 2006 and 2009, and railway equipment (rails and overhead lines, signalling systems and fencing) between 2009 and 2011.

    You can improve public transportation as good as you can but the government has no right to say that people need to use public transportation. People are allowed to do what they want after all the government is fully responsable for the lack of investing in a decent network. I know saying this with a European view is easy but let's not forget that , for example a city like Basel never had the idea of suspending their tram network which does exist since ... 1881 and always was a great succes. Other cities like Karlsruhe (Germany) reinvented public transportation since the 80's with a unbelievable succes and a still growing network. Why you may ask: on this network both trains and trams use the same gauge. Even huge metropolitan areas like London and Paris rediscovered trams... Paris is acting foolishly cause the lack they had in not extending their metro network seems to be compensated by new tramway lines but they are forgetting that business areas must be in reach easy and fast any time. Imagine that both Canary Wharf and La Défense are not connected to the fast railway network they are so proud of... @ MTLskyline: Saying that you don't need new lines is wrong imo. When you want to improve your network you need to extend it from time to time cause cities do grow in all directions. Comparing MTL with LDN is rather absurd cause London is much densier populated.

    Very interesting but why is there no plan that covers the entire metropolitan area ? I am very curious about the extension proposed for the south shore and what do I see on page 33 : a direct line from Longueuil to Laval...gets confusing for me. As "jesseps" points out very clearly : the railroad connection from the airport to the city in 20' is extremely slow.This project should be U/C for a long time by now. I would love to have a paper copy of this plan, should I contact the city or would somebody of you guys be so nice to send me one please?

    Visited this city last weekend: A known view to start with Pollux and a demolished neighbour Opernturm construction site from above canyon street reflektion of the Commerzbank in Galileo Police squad on the twins of the Deutsche Bank from 0 to 259m... street level entrance of Galileo a lot of contrasts here MainPlaza in evening sun glow Schiller and the MainTower walk-in-the-park roof near the Roßmarkt unkown by many : Frankfurter Welle no comment needed here I like this high rise art in a local bookshop Sand castle 2 worldpowers... density 'made in Frankfurt' Skyper MainTriangle with new low rises Sachsenhausen ...let me show you the way to the next whisky bar... hope you enjoyed it

    Added some fresh pictures
  23. Grumpy
    the first time I saw them I was very surprised needed to look my eyes out when I was driving a local friend's car
  24. Grumpy
    this is indeed a nice project but more identity to the 4 different blocks would have been better imo
