Name Change?[edit]

I'm thinking that maybe the name of this article should be changed to "Pan-Asia Railway Network" as the current name is overly specific.Seligne (talk) 13:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map caption misleading[edit]

Below the first map, it says: 'Overview of the missing links (in yellow) the Kunming-Singapore Railway'. How can you write such a text? This is patent nonsense. We all know that the line/network will be in standard gauge. We also know that outside China, there has hardly been standard gauge so far. So the entire network has to be built from scratch - not just a few gaps closed, as this map suggests.

Kuala Lumpur-Singapore Segment[edit]

This project has been delayed, rescheduled for operation starting 2031, so the entire Kumming-Sinapore railway cannot possibly enter service in 2021. Nerd271 (talk) 03:27, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
