Start of a HrSR route from Budapest to Athens.  This maybe will finally get an all rail HrSR route from rest of Europe to Greece ? 

Higher Speed Rail from Budapest-Athens (salsalabs.org)

Interesting that the route goes thru countries like Serbia and Macedonia.  It wasn't that long ago that they were in a shooting war.

midland  -  good wondered if someone would catch that.  The yellow route showed the deviation from those areas.

A shooting war based on ethnic intolerance amongst a population that had once accepted each other as human beings.  It is amazing what politicians can create.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

It was tragic,  but the history of ethnic and religious conflict in the Balkans is long,  deep-seeded and also recent.
