There's always a conflict between having a truly high-speed rail system and the number of stops that you want to build into the line. When anybody talks about building high-speed rail, of course, all the municipalities that are on the alignment or close to the alignment would like a stop in their municipality. I've seen projects that go from a straight line between two cities to a very curvy line that is not high-speed at all, because everybody wants to have a stop in their city.
I think the alternative to that, if you really want a high-speed network, is to have an integrated policy where you can have inter-city commuter rail that is medium-speed or low-speed. We see that all over the world in other places, where you have a hub and spoke system that brings people to the high-speed stations quickly, so they don't have to transfer a few times and so on.
If you have your high-speed network that makes only a few stops and it's complemented by a medium-speed system that brings people from the centres where they actually commute to and from, to link to the high-speed network, and then at the end of those spokes you have your local transit systems that complement that also, you will then have a fully integrated system and you can go from anywhere along the line to the high-speed network to the final destination.
