One test trip counts

  • Update 2025-14-01 (PST): - Transfers: If a test trip requires transferring to a local train (e.g., at San Jose), it does not count. (AI summary of creator comment)

  • Update 2026-01-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Shared tracks: HSR trains running on shared tracks (with non-HSR trains) for part of the trip is acceptable and counts as completed.

How does this resolve if the HSR trains have to run on non-HSR tracks for part of the trip?

@Martlet it’s fine if the tracks are shared but not if you have to transfer to a local non-HSR train for part of the trip.

I like trains

Just to clarify, does this mean a trip from central LA to central SF on a high speed train running solely on track that is part of the scope of the project?

@AristotelisKostelenos yes if you have to transfer to a local, say at San Jose, that does not count.
