Good idea with faster trains and more direct connections, but 160 km/h is not very ambitious for Western Europe, where most main line trains already run 180 km/h or faster? And why wait until 2040?

  Thanks Gunnar. I agree that 160 is not very ambitious. I hope this is the opening of a strategy that becomes significantly more ambitious.
