Talk:Brightline West

Role of Metrolink
The September 25, 2020 citation mentions Metrolink and heading all the way into Union station. Other articles say they are "at the table." Seems like they should be added to the article but I am unclear on their involvement. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Found a citation that clarified the relationship. Fettlemap (talk) 21:59, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

180 mph or 200 mph?
I know 180 mph is sourced on the page with the IRJ. But everything on the Brightline West website says 200 mph (https://www.brightlinewest.com/overview/project). Including all the reports of the project recently, and interviews with Wes Eden. I know regardless if Brightline chooses the Siemens Velaro Novo/Pioneer 220 or Avelia Liberty/TGV M. It'll be capable of 200 mph+. But what will the service and design speeds be of the line? (I assume the design speed will be around 10/15 mph more than the normal operating speed) ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 21:15, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


 * One of the recent sources mentions that the speed will be reduced due to some steep grades. I haven't look into it but I wonder if part of the discrepancy is due to an average figure. Cheers, 〜 Adflatuss  •  talk  23:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you mentioned this, I'm unclear on the answer as well. I've added additional citations within that sentence to clarify what the source is for each clause of the sentence. I belive we could likely find the answer in the environmental review, but theres a lot in there lol Jcody21 (talk) 19:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
