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 think hexbear.net is a safe space to be online for transpeople, nobody's perfect, but this place is alright
I did just see the 'grr cheaters' thread from last fortnight, and haha wow, there's some people on this website who need to 'touch grass', (I hear the grass is nice in Siberia)
in lighter news: I realised I've been using neo pronouns ('ey/'em/'er/'im) and its just because i speak with kind of a drawl or something
I am increasingly just here for the trans megathread. The rest of website needs a he/him purge imho.
I wont pretend anyone is perfect, he/hims generally have a bit more work todo though, we mustnt shy away from a casual 'excuse me, do not'
people who dont take criticism should be ousted regardless of pronouns
I exaggerate a bit by purging all of the he/hims. But NOT BY MUCH
Wholly agree with what you're saying here, have certainly had to challenge a few fellows here on the bearsite and have gotten mostly positive feedback. Just ask @ashinadash@hexbear.net what happens when we get in the way of their treats tho. Then I just go full on them.
I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and everyone else here in unlimited challenges upon the fellows, be they part of the War on Treathogs or otherwise
I'm in a mood that's stronger than "down with cis" today.
Me too. It’s in the Autumn air.
October Revolution but against the c*s
QUEER LIBERATION NOW
Oh also I havent shaved in a few weeks and while i dont care (so long as i dont look in the mirror), other people really lean into the sir's and man's, uhh
a Jehovah's witness called me sir today and turned around pretty quickly because of my expression 🤭
