Chinas Rail System Is Going International.

Post by Scrat »

I read about this last summer I believe. The ultimate intention is to link Singapore with London by rail. It may take 20 years but I bet they can do it.

There's a northern link through Russia that already takes passengers from London to Beijing, a friend of mine went that way some years ago.

Bet they don't get much custom if the trip takes that long - a few days maybe but twenty years!
