Topic	Question for people who've taken day-long bus/train rides
ScazarMeltex 08/04/20 5:53:00 PM #16:	The trains in the UK that I've been on, both Britrail and Scotrail were really nice, clean, and always on time. The Amtrak trains I've taken in the US were shitty. Pretty much all the rail lines in the US are owned by companies that make way more money on shipping freight so passenger trains get shunted off on sidings so freight can move by, so the trains never run on time. Once, on a trip from Chicago to Saint Louis, I spent as much time sitting on sidings as I did traveling. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:942991672] in Question f...
