Speed and comfort by Natalia Holvova

How fast is fast enough and how good is good enough? The standards of our lives are changing much faster than during the last century. Technologies are giving us space to create fantasies without borders and without any limits. The old sci-fi movies are not just ideas anymore. Technologies are developing at high speed and products provide high quality to costumers on daily basis. Transportation is much different than 50 years ago. Scientists composed amazing ways how to get to your final destination immediately without wasting time in three days express to the West coast. Rotes are made in a great condition, rails are faster and planes are able to take you wherever you want. How about short distance transportation for work? What in case we are working in Paris and living in London? What about Brussels and EU diplomats? Is it easy to connect these important European spots and make traveling even more comfortable? The problem is that they are little bit too close to each other to use planes and little bit too far to use car in the international traffic. The solution seems to be in train transportation. The trip from Brussels to Paris takes about an hour, from Paris to London about two and a half hour and from London to Brussels about an hour and fifteen minutes. The number of passengers on these tracks is circulating in thousands every day. That is one of the main reasons why Eurostar began an entirely high-speed train service between these popular cosmopolitan cities and made transportation even faster. New comfortable trains can this way provide better services for bigger amount of travelers and effectively compete with cars or planes within Europe. They seem fast enough so far.
