Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

  • I got my 8 hours of eep, why still eepy? :trans-sad:

    • Society.

      It helps to establish a consistent sleep schedule. Even if it's only 7 hours, sleeping at the same time every night can leave you feeling more rested. Still better to make it 8+ hours every night, but it can be tougher to do.

      • Its pretty consistent, even though its later then it should be. Good chance its depression type stuff, or maybe sleeping is just a fuck for me. Either way I'm not tired enough to fall back to sleep so shrug-outta-hecks what can I really do.

      • I started using an app to track my sleep and I’m only averaging about 6 hours a night :/ I’ve always had issues with sleep but I need to do a lot better.
