[edit] "Some trains will stop at no stations"
ummm... somehow I don't think this is quite correct. I assume the writer was trying to say that said trains will be direct ones with no intermediate stops. Could someone confirm this and change things accordingly? Tompw 18:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cost
[1] says something about nearly 20 billion USD ... It seems to have been officially opened now. JensMueller 16:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Network"
Is one train line a "network"? JensMueller 16:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is a warp thread or a spine. Jjok 17:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unclear
"It is alleged because Shinkansen have been adopting earthquake detection system called UrEDAS (Urgent Earthquake Detection and Alarm System) since 1992." Alleged usually implies a suggestion or implication that somebody has done something wrong. If the rationale for dropping ICE and going with Shinkansen technology is correct, then THSRC's decision appears to be a wise one. Another word should be used here, and the sentence is really a fragment. 4.243.206.105 22:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing map
The map currently says "In service until 2011", which gives exactly the wrong impression: it should be (for example) "Scheduled to open by 2011". Jpatokal 05:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Formal opening?
When was the railway formally opened with the full operating schedule? At the same time as Taipei station? Jpatokal 13:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who cares?
Currently, tickets have all the information printed on them that is needed to ride the trains, but they do not have an imprinted logo or the words "Taiwan High Speed Rail" printed on them in Chinese or English. However, this will be corrected by the HSR marketing department as soon as possible, with new HSR tickets sporting the company's logo.
Who cares whether the tickets have "Taiwan High Speed Rail" printed on them in Chinese, English, or anything else? In the unlikely event it does matter, the statement should be sourced. 4.243.227.165 00:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
