    1. Very sci-fi looking. No doubt the electrical and aircon engineers will have received a bit of feedback from the drivers!

      Edit: I wonder why the designers didn’t go for a fully window? I think the drivers would prefer an uninterrupted view.

    2. 431kph but they can’t get an AC?

      This look like the bedroom of a 24 year old gamer with his pc rig

      They spent all that money designing and building the train and they forgot to include air circulation?

    4. With something that goes that fast, you think you would be more concerned about tripping over extension cords.

      The extension cords and surge protector are the icing on this technological wonder!

    6. Soooo, is the train centrally run and this engineer is there just as a backup or to troubleshoot stuff in that PLC cabinet? The only physical controls I see on his instrument panel is an emergency brake switch and an emergency disconnect switch.

      He’s got a regular computer keyboard on his desk, and appears to be looking at scheduling. 

    7. WidelyMisunderstood on

      The fact it looks like an office and the power strip on the floor is sending me for some reason 🤣

    8. Damn, for all the hi tech value poor dude still has to bring his own fan and can’t put up posters or anything.

      Have been on this train multiple times. Was so fast it felt like a plane taking off

    10. What controls does a train driver have?

      A Go button
      A Stop button
      An Emergency Stop button
      A Doors Open button
      A Doors Shut button
      And…?

      Any train drivers here? Choo Choo?
