Unfortunately, there are the same marketing slogans (at least as transmitted by the know-nothing media (German tagesschau)): "removing the dead end", "Center of Europe", "Bahnhofs-City", "Paris-Bratislava", "Danzig-Adria", and as a special twist "Middle Germany - Athens - Black Sea". Who are those people kidding? Schengen is toast!
I also note that like Wendlingen-Ulm, a project adjacent to Vienna's new main station is the Lainzer and Wienerwald tunnel complex, over 27 km of tunnels that are part of TEN-17 which IMO make eminent sense. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
...and here is the Stuttgart 21 real estate project:
Someone is gonna get rich, and it's neither taxpayers, nor DB... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Although DB gets off pretty well here. They pay almost nothing, less than they would for a simple renovation/modernization. DB Projektbau GmbH is paid handsomely for their expert planning and execution. Schengen is toast!
