High speed train line construction near us in Spain
« on: 03 June 2016, 18:42:53 »

We have been watching this with great interest over the last few years.

This website(in English) explains quite a bit. One is the reason for creating the second longest viaduct in Spain rather than a simple embankment. At the end there are some short videos (in Spanish only) that show some of the construction work. I think it is impressive. Don't watch /read if you are going to get aggravated because Eu money was used towards it.

After China Spain has the most high speed train track I believe.

I am looking forward to getting discount as an old git on train tickets.!

here it is

Nothing to get het up about, it's only 550 million euros, and I assume that the EU will be paying a similar amount towards HS2 when they start building it. ::) :y

Oh look there's a pig flying by my window!  :o  :D  ;D

Joking apart though, that viaduct is a very impressive piece of civil engineering!  :y

How comes, Dem spainyards get mega funding for that very impressive via-duct, the froggeys got funding for the meilo bridge, and no complaints,, Dave is trying to build an unwanted white Elephant across Tory heartlands, even the loony left are complaining, and no funding from Europe :-X is it me, or too many Sam Miguel's again in this Spanish sun :P

To be onset, I wouldn't want a thirsty 3.2 around here, be forever, filling it up, really need either a 2.0L turbo with a moosive intercooler, or a thumping modern V8.
Right back to the pool. :)
