UP6936 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 While it would be good to have a rail link to the UK, what gauge would they choose? Because no matter what one they chose, it would be incompatible with one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarabuses Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 There must have been a shortage of news for this idea to be dragged up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change from 1668 mm to 1435 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
