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.

    If I don’t already have water, it’s annoying having to find my cup (which might require turning on a light), go to the kitchen to refill (which requires dealing with the fridge light), and then try to fall back asleep after that. I’m generally not good at falling asleep, so if I can avoid getting up or turning on lights, the better chance of falling back asleep quickly. Getting up like that might cost hours of sleep time.

      ah fair

      I live alone in a small place so stumbling over to the sink in the dark and drinking out of whatever glass I last used and left on the counter is pretty easy and far preferable to trying to just ignore the cramp for me but I feel that, if the cramp weren’t painful especially
