The trick is to have a state-owned company to provide a baseline

And there was probably some fossil fuel lobby as well

fuck yooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooogle

Because that would be an investment that doesn't interest private companies

electrification is expensive

^

I was about to say that

I cried when my young Scot card stopped

I.e. the state run trains being the cheapest option while there are other private companies to compete

Ribble railway worldwide

Rip half price trains

if the investment doesn't return in 20 years or sooner, it's not gonna happen

Not all the rails would have been electrified either

The state providing competition is tolerable

All these people trying to get HS-2 cancelled

Smh.

it is the only way

competition to train _routes_ is kinda stupid

/waste

We need supersonic hyper bullet trains. The fastest in the world and they should be free. Imagine what that'd do for hour economy

Our*

Not sure about free

Lol

But they could be subsidies and made pretty cheap

I can send you some supersonic bullets

Idk about a bullet train

I mean stop policing twitter and use that money

The thing is, I don’t mind if our trains were expensive if they were good

Why

But they’re shit and expensive

THE PLATFORMS ARE PEDOS!

Japan trains are pricey but they’re lovely

Quick big and clean

Like my dick

If they were cheaper then more people would use them, meaning the quality and capacity could increase

The last time the trains ran on time in germany was 1941-44

Hs2 was shite

more like 42/3

I doubt they ran on time with all the bombings
