Moderator note: This pun fest has been split from the Thames Valley Infrastructure Problems thread.
I don't think you can generalise to the rest of Europe - each country's current state will be dictated by its own history. The French 'classic' network happens to have ended up in a state rather like ours, but because the priority given to building the LGV▸ network stole all the money.
 Or no pun intended?

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Just made contact with this thread. Some positive and a few negative reactions. Wonder if the bright sparks among the contributors have reached full capacity yet ?
