The UK: "Hold my beer."
At least Germany has high speed rail.
The fact that the Beeching cuts of the 60's happened should be a point of national embarrassment - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_cuts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_cuts - the country is still suffering the consequences of this "strategy".
- kmlx 3y agoi don’t think you realise just how worse train travel is in germany compared to the UK
- laurencerowe 3y agoDespite the Beeching cuts the UK still has a pretty dense rail system. I think the bigger problem has been the lack of S-bahn like development in the major cities outside of London.
