Dont give up the forum 48111 !! We need you your comments they are very valued.

While you were with BR it was constantly changing surely mate?

However, Railways cant stay in a time warp if they are to survive. I have just come back from Switzerland - went by Rail from St Pancras, made a mistake by changing at Paris - terrible out of date and dirty metro system - should have gone via Lille, but HS1 and TGV excellent far better than flying any time and almost as quick.

Take a look a Switzerland for a future for rail - massive investment they are building a base tunnel through the Alps to replace the Gotthard Tunnel it will result in huge time savings and will take tens of thousands of trucks of the roads with a high speed freight service.

Adapt, change or die I am afraid thats the message and it always will be
