Madrid 🇪🇸 - Lisboa 🇵🇹 How can the dreadful mess be fixed?
Madrid - Lisboa is one of the worst railway connections between capital cities in Europe. At least two changes of train, and 170km on a diesel railbus built in the 1950s. In this video I explain how this situation arose, and why - perhaps even in 2027 - there is hope for something a little bit better, once a section of new line opens in Portugal.
IMPORTANT: this is the second experimental #CrossBorderRail explainer video! A lot more work is going to be needed on subsequent videos!
