Abstract

The author first reviews the high-speed routes of individual rail administrations in Europe and then furnishes the information on absolutely unsatisfactory speeds· with us particularly on the mainland-coast route. He therefore advocates the possibility of introduction of the 'Pendolino' type trains able to cut the journey times by some 20-30%. The paper then deals with the possible routes of the coastal railway track to lead via Rijeka through Lika·up to Knin and further over the central Dalmatia to Gabela by which the first section of the railway system would bi closed. The route would then lead in the direction of Dubrovnik and Nikšić that is Bar by which the link with the Belgrade-Bar route would be obtained. The author leads for an accelerated elaboration of projects and keeping the area reserved for this high-speed route construction.
