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.

    Damn, like 8-9 hours of sleep last night and I was still tired today...

    I know, I need to have a constant sleep schedule, but I still wonder what it would feel like to always be well-rested with minimal fatigue throughout the day.

      meow-hug I wonder that too. In my case it's more than just my sleep schedule though; I just have chronic fatigue. If you're feeling fatigued every day no matter how much sleep you get, that may be something you want to look into.
