    I wrote it badly, sorry about that of course I know that most people in germany don‘t live in berlin. I was just trying to say that it definitely is still worth it to connect these cities at some point, but currently there absolutely are more important projects.

      At somepoint probably yeah. Unfortunately, it does seem that Amsterdam-Berlin seems to be pushed for a lot, and I fear for that poor decision fucking up the rest of the raillines.

      An Amsterdam-hamburg-berlin line makes more sense imo, especially when you push it more towards the north as it doesn’t cut the countries in half. It also gives you possibility to expand both north towards scandanavia, which you can extend further south to the rest of europe, or eastern europe through berlin.

      But I doubt that will happen, because that is a bit slower than through hanover

        What would you think of a Berlin-Hamburg-Groningen-Amsterdam high-speed connection (if Germany is arsed to fix that bridge outside Leer)?
