The Chinese are simply showing off their new high speed train! That is a FACT. Why do you want to big up people over nothing! Ninzelu za mukomboni! Do you want me to believe that it is Chirwa and his clan who designed the Chinese High Speed Train? Are you out of your mind? He was just a lecturer at the ‘glorified’ upgraded polytechnic now called Bolton University. It is a small university in Lancashire compared to the original and authentic Lancaster University. Bolton does not even compare with its former polytechnic counterpart, Preston Polytechnic now called the University of Central Lancashire

    240 km/h train in Zambia?? hmmmmmm. I don’t know about that one. Only Konoso Nsuluka would have thought about this one. Just a bit of information for the uninitiated, High Speed Trains demands special dedicated rail lines. Zambia would need to build one, not rehabilitate the kinky rail line built by Cecil Rhodes. High Speed Trains are for passenger use, how many Zambians would afford to use them. Even in Japan where they use the Shinkasen, it is very expensive, probably a bit dearer than traveling by air. High speed trains usually have very few stops because of their long stopping distance and therefore are not suitable for short daily commute. High Speed Trains in Zambia?? Honestly, I don’t think so.

      I live in China and your analysis of high speed trains is misplaced. They are not expensive or dear. China is transforming its railways to make all routes to have highspeed trains. They are also doba dobas. The fact that the vehicle can travel at 240km/h does not mean it will always be driven at maximum speed. The engineer may chose the speed depending on the distance he would like to cover in a given amount of time. Where is logic mwe bantu shuwa?

    If you’re hypertensive, your doctor might recommend a 24 hours monitoring with the use of the machine. That’s about 40 readings, that’s why you want something that lasts longer than 24 hours. Check the machines’ battery time and save yourself a lot of time and money. Take the ones that goes off after 400 or more readings.
