    Many things were wrong in the report but was expected after i watched the RRTS video(which also had some things wrong). at 0:12 you can clearly see a green train written Pakistan railways. Though the progress is actually great since last 2yrs, yes it could have gotten completed before 2026 now it will take 2027/2028, so what? this is our first HSR route, we will get comfortable slowly with building it like we are now with Subways. *Fact: India has metros/subways in 15 cities with 568km(15+ cities) under construction* *Democracy in a nutshell everything is slow in democratic countries, same with Cali's HSR.* Tho i will stand by my statement that as you showed in the video HSR project ain't that slow, Indonesian HSR had just 110km length which they started in 2017, India's project length is 508.09km started in 2019, a very sloppy intro too by B1M.

    China and especially Japan built their own railways based on what they know they need with routes serving their major population centres. India's railway was built by the British to link resource centres with factories and ports, completely ignoring civilian train networks. Since 1947 India has had to readapt this rail system based on resource and wealth extraction to serve them and their people instead of an extractive foreign power. This definitely makes it harder for them but it is good to see it is going well.

    Indian railway networks are not "Aging" as you have mentioned...the overcrowded clips that you keep showing are all from a single city's local network, which is Mumbai local trains, which is what is aging..The national network has seen massive upgradation in recent years, which includes almost doubling of electrification(it's 85%+ now), automation of signalling systems both hardware and softwarewise, continuous upgradation of railway coaches from older ICF to LHBs and now the newer Vandebharat rakes(which you showed only one cropped image), building two dedicated freight corridors, continuous upgradation of tracks to make it suitable for semi high speed trains etc..... Of course, just like the country of India, there are several layers in the railway system too and it's impossible to bring changes to everything at once.....just changing one layer is equal to an overhaul of a mid size country....but all you keep showing is the mumbai locals...because it suits the image that matches with the perception when you hear India as a foreigner.

    The recent tragic accident notwithstanding, I found the overarching narrative in this video out of date. India’s railways are more electrified than European, East Asian and North American ones. This is a major factor driving better efficiency. Unmanned level crossings, a key factor driving accidents, have been reduced drastically. Trains in India are not as luxurious as those in wealthier regions, but they are extremely affordable. Everyday you have multiple options to travel from Mumbai to Delhi for $7 (1400km). For contrast, the cheapest flight is $50.

    > India’s railways are more electrified than European, East Asian and North American ones. It's great to see India progress but consider the following. India's rail network length per square km, let alone per capita is pretty low compared to Japan or Western Europe, despite comparable numbers of passenger-kilometers per capita. Electrification only makes sense for well used lines. So % of rail network electrified might not mean as much as you think. Statistically India has not yet built out the deep rail network coverage that other big rail use countries partially chose not to electrify to avoid wasting money.

    India and China also have over a 1b people. E.g. India has about 5 times more electrified rail km than France but 20 times the population. On the other hand, India's economic output per capita is only about 15% of France's. So India's rail network is still pretty good, compared to it's economic development level and I am sure it will continue to improve and will eventually reach rich country levels.

    The thing with that train accident, that particular train was not operating on the indigenously developed system called “kavach”, which is designed to prevent such instances from occurring, and since then the pace of bringing trains into this system has increased too. Yes the infrastructure is old and the work on upgrading these tracks has already started and in progress, but due to the vast size of this network it takes time and a lot money to do so.

    you say it as if majority of trains operate with kavach deployed, very few do. indian railways has long been neglected by governments and still continues to be and "since then the pace of bringing trains into this system has increased" sounds like a very apologist take to deflect some of the blame from the existing government. Absence of kavach wasn't the only reason for the accident, railways continues to be understaffed and the government has done nothing to fill millions of vacancies.

Problem is that there are so many fucking problems in railway it will take 2 decades just to change old track we're talking about 128000 km of track .also kavach was first introduced in 2019 and in 2020 it saw mass use and already had stopped 1400 small accident. Current government have done lot from track replacement to metro (especially up) to rrts and especially unmmaned railway crossing but nothing is enough so sadly for atleast another decade you will see accident both bcz of government incompetence or lack of fund .

    Kaavach is recent development. But railway does already hv it's own full proof system. To prevent such accident their was a system that will automatically control the traffic lights to red if it sense the presence of another train on the track the incoming train is supposed to run. However it malfunctioned either by itself or done intentionally. Regardless it's undeniable that trains need major improvement.

On my last visit to India in 2015 I could reserve my ticket online before arriving in India, get on at the right carriage that stopped at the right place on the platform, enjoy clean and functioning interiors with working USB charger points. There was no overcrowding and I could show my eTicket on my phone to the ticket inspector. Oh and the train was on time. There are also AC first class carriages.

    Good video. Being an Indian and having traveled across Europe in HS rail, I would say this project is of absolute necessity to elevate the economy to the next level. Today, the middle class in India travel mostly through flights, thanks to govt schemes like UDAN and airlines like Indigo which have brought people out of victorian rail system. So, when the HS rail network is up and running, we will have plenty of takers for it, don't forget that both Gujarat and Maharashtra have enormously wealthy and tenacious individuals who would love to travel in bullet trains. As regards to the delay in construction, it must be attributed to our judicial system which is slow and often populist. But we are developing and we will have a full HSR network by 2040.

Anything can be done with enough political will. US has literally fought wars on lies and made trillions out of it only because they had political will to do so. Only recently in India do we have a government that has enough political will to get over all the division that was created in the country for the last 75 years and actually work on some real problems. I mean just look at this very project. Land acquisition had been a long problem under Uddhav Government but as soon as Eknath came into the power, all the problems were sorted. The Mumbai Costal Road that was always in debate has gained significant traction and is progressing rapidly. Indians are aspirational and anything that helps them move in the direction that they aspire to be is welcomed with open arms by the vast majority of the people. The recent developments and achievements of India are all indicative of it. The Indian economy that was in the "Fragile 5" is one of the most resilient economies amid the Pandemic and the War.

    The Mumbai suburban trains have power operated sliding doors. The only time they are closed is when the train is standing in a siding during the rainy season. Even so the safety of the trains is better than that of travelling by road. In India the fare for two people to travel by train is less than the cost of the petrol for them to travel on one small motorcycle. In my country the UK if you own a luxury car it will usually be cheaper to use this to go somewhere than to make the same journey on your own by train.

    This is common but not universally agreed with. It effectively hides choices with poor capital cost efficiencies from the users, and allows central planning bureaucrats in charge of capital disbursement override local needs and preferences. It’s not *wrong*… but not understanding its disadvantages under particular governments isn’t a good planning approach.

I've enjoyed numerous videos on them from a few different creators. I didn't know your rail electrification now stands at 90%.

    A lot of the complaints about prioritizing high-speed trains over the "regular" train network is non-sense. Both Japan and Spain which have very successful train networks had to build completely new tracks as well. Simply upgrading existing tracks won't do on the busiest corridors and will lead to frequent train disruptions during upgrade work (that can last for years) while still costing as much money as building new ones.

    India is also investing in strengthening the current railway infrastructure. So, it is not a trade-off between traditional railways and other forms of railways. Traditional railways are upgraded and extended using budgetary resources. Bullet trains and metro trains are built on funding from combination of Centre, State, and various foreign and domestic funding agencies.

There was no overcrowding and u could show eTicket on phone to the ticket inspector. Oh and the trains are on time. There are also AC first class carriages in all trains throughout india. Your intro shows crowded urban commuter trains....while there are fully ac,well maintained metro trains in 20+ indian cities Very sloppy intro by B1M.
