European Tribune - Comments - Globalisation catches up with rail industry?

Globalisation catches up with rail industry? | 48 comments (48 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

For novices, but with technology backgrounds, this is a fascinating and detailed diary of a very complex subject. Stellar, DoDo. Hope I make the time to give it more time.

Re: Seed comment (none / 0)

As a general question; how readable is this diary (and my more detailed train diaries in general)? I am trying to 'outsource' too much specifics and codenames into paragraphs and image captions, but am not sure how easily readers can get through it.

I read through this one in no time, but that's partially because it's on a topic I'm very interested in (industrial policy and globalisation). In general you are very readable, too, though.

Erm, I meant: into parantheses and image captions...

I know next to nothing about trains, except that I do love them and am interested in modern developments, mostly for nostalgic reasons being an American, but I found the article very interesting and quite readable.
