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.

    i'm not an expert but i'm on 300 (blech) at the suggestion of my doctor, too afraid to change it, of course body weight/height/individual tolerances probably matter a lot

    Yeah I'm on 300 as well now, and now that it's working better I'm also terrified of tinkering with it D:

      So, thats fair, but I should say actually I switched to CPA last week. It has been a major difference for me... Much better in every category imaginable, even 15 years after I started transition. Dont really understand why, but I take a tiny quarter tab and my chest is growing again, somehow??
