Yeah, I don't know why they're fixated on electrifying the line. Given that there is no clear straight corridor, we'd do better to upgrade the existing line to fully utilize the talgo tilting trains that we have now.
By the time those trains are ready for retirement, I'm sure there will be faster versions that can run on the existing tracks.
I wonder how the Pendolinos would fare? I think they tilt even more than the talgos.
