Along with the railway, the network brings hospitals, good food, fair justice, new cities and real work to every place it reaches. These are the standards we believe every route on earth should meet.
standards for every route
at most between hospitals
jobs, first estimate
continents on one network
These standards describe what the network should guarantee wherever its line runs, from the smallest stop to the busiest hub. They are our own view, written to be tested, discussed and improved.
Good care should be a short train ride away for every family along the line.
Along the whole route, the same high standard of care. Bright, well-equipped hospitals are built for the people who live along the line.
Each station is a centre of care, from a clinic with a nurse at the smallest stop to a full hospital at the major hubs, carrying the standard of health to the surrounding region.
What a family eats should be safe, fresh and as good in a small town as in a capital.
Food safety checked the same way on every continent, so a family in any town can trust what they eat.
International restaurants serve the finest ingredients from every region, and dishes from many cultures.
Where the line arrives, towns, learning and work grow around the station.
Towns and campuses grow along the railway, so learning and work reach places that never had them.
Mines that were once far away become easy to reach, and the materials for building the future are shared fairly.
Building, running and serving the network creates work on every continent, from engineers and drivers to cooks, nurses and teachers in the new towns.
One network, built the same way everywhere, open to everyone and safe by design.
One common track width and one signalling standard on every route, so a train never has to stop at a border because the rails do not match.
Lifts, ramps and special seating so that the elderly, the child, the expectant mother and the person with limited mobility travel with equal dignity.
Double tracks, backup routes, intelligent sensors and rapid-response teams along the line, so that one fault never brings the whole network to a halt.
Every person along the line should live with dignity and fairness.
