Description

In this second part of their conversation, Doc Frank and Sean Connolly discuss the correlation between top speed and construction costs for High Speed Rail. 

Show notes: 

1)      Sean’s report that is discussed in this episode is highly informative reading for anyone interested in High Speed Rail, not just in Australia. Here is a link to the Executive Summary chapter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQ1nIjIUmRhnoM3vlRqa6BTrOAPWlIY3/view?usp=sharing

3)      The best support you can give to this show is checking out the most comprehensive training portal for advanced digital signalling and everything high capacity railways in the world: https://docfranktraining.podia.com
Many of the course offers on that portal are leading-edge and globally unique, and I would love if they could help boosting the understanding and confidence for those modern technologies of you or a coworker who may benefit from such training. Thank you. 

4)      The European Train Control System (ETCS) is hands down the most popular train control technology for mainline railways worldwide. One of the perhaps best training courses available for ETCS has been the “ETCS Kickstarter” training which has already helped more than 200 professionals in Australia and New Zealand to boost their understanding of the European Train Control System regardless of their prior knowledge of signalling.
 The online version of this training called Understanding ETCS Fundamentals is currently being developed, and subscribers of this podcast can get a 25% discount if they sign up before 30 September 2024 at https://docfranktraining.podia.com/etcs and use the code ETCS-RC25 at checkout.
