Busjack Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 Despite some assertions about "amazing" rail, CNN has a story entitled Britain invented trains. Now its railway system seems to be having a nervous breakdown. Appears that money has been cut from high-speed rail, as well as "Congestion, neglected Victorian infrastructure and frequent strikes" plus COVID passenger losses and an unsuccessful effort to privatize and then reconstitute the system, have resulted in a mess. But I don't think Duchess Katherine has to ride the train.? Quote

strictures Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 I read about the HS2 mess every day in the Guardian. It's not going to go to the train station in Central London & it's not going to go past Birmingham now, according to the totally dysfunctional Conservative government there, which will be thrown out in the next general election & replaced by Labour. Maybe Labour will get HS2 back on track. Quote
