It's funny that the country that invented trains has worse trains than the US.

Nah mate that’s a massive exaggeration. US rail is absolutely centuries behind UK rail.

All I'm saying is Amtrak hasn't folded and rebranded three different times in the last decade. https://youtu.be/IayST598Vxo

What are you talking about, America is the worst at it by a mile

[–] Forester@pawb.social 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

By a mile? How many miles of operational rail do we have? Now how many miles do you have? The US has approximately 140,000, mi. There is approximately 10,000 mi of rail across Great Britain and Northern Ireland........

As my British friend Tom used to say

Mate you fucking flunked your maths schooling didn't ya.
