I heard that the Chinese built the longest railway from Lisbon to Singapore. How many days does the train pass? !
Expert Answer -1 + –
– China has only built a new stretch in Laos with a length of 414 km, – says blogger Kirill Balberov, who specializes in railway topics. – All the roads from Lisbon to Singapore were connected, and indeed the longest highway in the world appeared, crossing 13 countries and counting 18.65 thousand km. It would be possible to overcome this distance in 10 & ndash; 12 days & ndash; 2 times faster than by sea. But a special train is not provided. First, it may only be of interest to tourists, but they will have a lot of visa problems. Secondly, due to the change in the width of the track, it will be necessary to change the wheel sets several times, which is difficult and expensive. Now on the road to Lisbon – Singapore runs many different comfort trains, right down to electric trains, the schedules of which do not agree well with each other. Therefore, the journey by courier can take up to three weeks.
