    Not only that, but there are also two arrows on this map going into the UK. It’s up to the UK to take care of how well these arrows connect to important locations within their borders. There really doesn’t appear to be an issue whatsoever.

      These arrows already exist! The France one is the English tunnel and the Ireland one is there because they need to make Ireland feel like one island. The uk dont have much control over how well they connect to their border. I think the uk would have benefited from this plan as they seem to be having problems with trains

        I think that’s the point, no? It’s unfortunately up to the UK now to do what they will with the transport systems the EU will hook them up with.

            Huh? Apologies for being slow but what is your point?

            My neighbour redid their driveway, it completely excludes my driveway, obviously. We used to share a driveway mind you and we could have shared the cost of whe work on both our driveway but I got uptight because he let brown people use both our driveways. I told him driveways first, my driveway is losing its identity due to all the brown people and I got the whole neighbourhood to vote against shared driveways.

            Pretty fucking cunty of him to only redo his driveway now though innit?

            the UK cannot be included, because they aren’t a Schengen-member and the EU doesn’t want customs checks on their train lines…

            it’s entirely up to the UK what they do with their rails within their borders.

            and as was already pointed out:

            there already IS a connection between the EU and the UK!!

            the new plans are largely for connections between capitals of EU countries and major population centers, both of which already have rail connections in the UK.

            so what do you expect the EU to do about the rail network in the UK?

              Ireland is also not a member of the Schengen agreement…

                Ireland is not connected by rail either, so customs don’t matter as much; you need to change the mode of transportation anyways

            the larger context of the discussion is about how a massive Railway Expansion project completely excludes the UK.

            Why should EU project include non-EU states?
