Hm…, “high-performance infrastructure”…, but why not just simple “state of the art”, as currently, at TEN-T etc.?
No doubt, high performance will be good, but Shift, the needed, has not even started yet, and when eventually, started (on a few the most demanding lines) at the earliest, it will not be completed until another 12 years, at the best.
(So far, as in Sweden high speed was outed, as costs turned too high and simple standard now is the constructed…)
