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

        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.

      Your comment shouldn’t be downvoted, it’s certainly debatable who has the worse rail

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

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