Russia abandons Putin's bullet train promise

Citation: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/world/story/russia-abandons-putins-bullet-train-promise-20120823


I expected improvement of Trans-Siberian Railway would include installation of high speed trains only to be informed that the bullet train promise was abandoned.
I felt pity that Mr.Putin doesn't have interest in high speed rails.
But, electrification of the railway was completed and is under double tracking. These improvement will increase total volume of traffic.
