How did you get the cells, did you buy the car and take the battery out, buy the battery by itself, or buy the cells by themselves?

I really hope in the next few years we see a revolution in short distance transport. Most journeys are less than 3 miles (if I remember correctly, could be 5) a perfect distance for e-bikes, e-scooters and normal acoustic bikes. Hopefully at least some places capitalise on it

Then how do people get to the jobs without any infrastructure

The rumble of a class 37 makes it my favourite angine I think

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown, I learned allot.

It's a double edged sword as the trees put leaves on the line that make it slippery and can fall on it for trains to hit. They do stabilise steep cuttings though. Something like soil nails or other erosion control measures, combined with smaller trees and bushes would be ideal however more expensive

So many things wrong, we were never the envy of Europe, we were the cash cow of Europe. European state operators ran our services for profit to subside their own.

The rolling stock leasing companies are the place where all the money goes, I would rather see them nationalised than the franchises themselves. However as they are owned by the banks we can't touch them.

Also the claim that privatisation increased passenger numbers is wrong, they were going up before.

Additionally the idea that the private system is cost effective is wrong aswell. The subsidy paid out to the rail is higher now than under BR.

Not sure where it is this time but it's an issue that has come up before on this line

The decline of alternatives has not helped the situation aswell.

How many cracks are we up to now. I make it 6? Possibly 5?

Polish friend of mine says Radom and Kielce are a bit of a shit hole.
