An insanely expensive project, are there any other rail projects like this we should cover?

If you have the chance to visit the Baltics - do it! Amazing countries with amazings landscapes, great food and a lot of nice people! Glad that they are part of the EU!

Hello, estonian here. As of January 2025, well we do have progress (even the most out of all countries I think), but pay in mind this project will never be considered as a "well-managed". There were a LOT of flaws and problems causing delays, especially the financial ones. Still really do hope that after it finishes, everything will be better.

We as Latvians still managed to fuck it up

Baltic countries have "modern" railways". Rail Baltica is not the only railway in those countries. Rail Baltica's purpose is to connect baltic states to other Europe countries more smoothly.

It looks Latvia have to cut significantly costs of their part of the project dropping dual-layer bridge to only-rail variant and building only single-track initial line for beginning and most probably they'll drop Riga–RigaAirport loop, hopefully converting it to speed tram (LRT) system.

And yet in Sydney Australia they only got 12kms worth of tram line for 3.6BN.
This project is cheap as.

Excellent project. Glad to see it is already underway.

Riga central station is not a "massive new central station", come on, why so crooked with facts. It's a massive overhaul of an existing central station.

There are many careless mistakes in the video.

Currently, there is only one single track of 1435 mm rail track from Kaunas to Poland.
Baltics waisted a lot of money and time in improving existing broad gauge railway system instead building faster 1435 mm railway network and connecting better with EU.

A hot theme is the Tallinn - Helsinki Tunnel. China offered to build this tunnel. But Europe has to pay with all ore found in Finnland. Fortunately EU and Finnland has not supported this idea. But there are discussions to build a Spain - Marokko tunnel. If EU is willing to pay such an nonsence project, than EU should rather fund the Tallinn - Helsinki Tunnel. May be something around 20 Billion Euro. But the Spain - Marokko tunnel would cost at least the same, because the geology there is much more complecated.

Between Estonia and Finland, look like underwater rail way?

The total costs are estimated to be higher, especially in Latvia!!

I see the costs are spiralling, must have got our HS2 planners, procurement and QS's

2:26 Why you are using proper letters for languages like German, Lithianian, Latvia or Estonia but not for Białystok in Poland? ;-)

6.3bn??? Knowing the actual prices I would rather expect 16.3bn...
