    Two years ago while I was in London, I thought the railway to be nice. I had no problem getting to London from Gatwick and then to Bath. Nice comfortable cars. The station was a bit confusing, though.

    My only gripe is with the mens room...
    You people pee on walls?!? Ever heard of urinals?!?

    Yes the toilets on our trains are a real problem. There is no pride or passion regarding the railway system anymore and it shows. The train system here is not run as a service anymore but a money-making operation by the government.

    They will do anything to make a few pee

    The London Underground train system is quite simply superb. When you consider how many people they move daily, and over what distances it is quite staggering. London would die without it, and I for one am very proud of it. Yes it used to be more reliable, but now the lines are jam packed with trains and people, a victim of it's own success,(having done my apprenticeship there I am rather biased, but what the hell)

    You've obviously never been to Japan, because if you compare it to say Tokoyo's underground, its CRAP !

    & every single one of their trains runs on time, every time

    Well I drove on the Japs railway system in Microsoft Train Simulator and my train was always late, and it crashed a few times too.
