    amazing that building, maintaining, and fueling a fleet of airplanes is more cost effective than a few engines, coaches, and track.

        Yea I got a fine because I took an Avanti North-west instead of an Avanti Wales train, on the same route -_- like wtf, if they are not the same company maybe they should not share the same name?

              What in the mother of fuck? Were they both totally full? Did you take a more expensive car than you’d paid for? That sounds nutter butters.

                Not even. It’s just not the same company, not the same train so I had to pay for a new ticket with an on-board penalty fee. In Belgium, when I want to go somewhere, I go to the station, I buy a ticket from my origin to my destination and I hop into the next train. But according to liberals that goes against the will of the invisible hand or something

      No taxes on fuel

      Trains use infrastructures and not the air

      it’s just 2 examples. Complain at your government if you want things to change.
