ChrisG The German - Czech cross border railway situation there is a hot mess of 'not yet upgraded' states, which is a problem as we see. Some of the lines don't have the European system installed on the Czech side to auto-stop the train if it runs past a red signal. (ETSC I think its called). Then on the German side there are areas where DB have not installed the electrical catenary yet so on the German side they need to switch to a diesel locomotive and thus the the faster speed traffic cross border really gets compromised. Yes, if both side had all the modern infrastructure installed then these issues wold not happen as much, but they don't unfortunately, because as always, its about money and not spending it where it needs to be spent.
