From the early days of steam and iron, to the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, to the compeition of the car and moterway. Often I am left with either crazily expenzie train tickets, trains that don't turn up and are replaced by busses, or train that are so full you spend an hour cramped together like at a concert. With the push towards ditching our diesel vehicles, you would think that the trains should be made a luxury, an experience that is far better than fueling up your car and hitting the roads...but it's not. It is still cheaper to drive. There are many reasons for our defunct and neglected trains and railways, and I try to cover as many as I can as I visit a range of locations all affected by the downfall of train travel in the last 100 years. Also, do let me know your thoughts on the new governments promsise to re nationilise the trains. Is it a good thing? Or is it just pub talk? #trains #railways #broken #britian #railway #transport
