Nowhere[1], if you're in Norway.
I jest a little, but it's so bad here we've started to call it "bus replacement service" when the train is not cancelled, rather than "rail replacement service" when the train is cancelled.

- spinningarrow 2y agoIs that a recent thing? I’ve taken trains several times of the last few years and always had an overwhelmingly positive experience.
- magicalhippo 2y agoIt's gotten quite a lot worse in the past few years. In 2023 one quarter of all trains were delayed or cancelled. The gov't hasn't allocated enough for maintenance for several decades, and we're paying the price now. The National Audit Office recently released[1] a scalding report about it.

- awiesenhofer 2y ago> The gov't hasn't allocated enough for maintenance for several decades, and we're paying the price now. Ah yes, the german approach.
- bpye 2y agoIt does amuse me somewhat that every country believes they have the worst train network, the UK is no different.
