The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    aubrey-happy aww ty!! You too! trans-heart

    I’ve seen The Ocean twice and they’re fucking great live but have I-was-saying level bad touring luck, I think both times I’ve seen them they said they either had gear stolen from them or had a van break down so I spent more in their merch than I wanted because I felt bad for them coming all the way from Switzerland to have bad shit happen to them sadness

    They have some sick merch though imo
