That's pretty good. Especially if it saves energy on trains. but the cost is HUGE for 2 hours.

- ant6n 5y agoIt's 2 hours times the number of passages through the tunnel. Hint: there will be more than a single passage. Jokes aside, there are sometimes rail projects where millions are spent to save 2 minutes. Or even just tens of seconds. Over the lifetime of the infrastructure it is still worth it, especially when combining multiple projects. 2 hours savings is huge. You won't find many infra projects with those kind of time savings.
