Thread Name: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN
Subject: RE: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN
I was 6 in'71. A few years later, I guess, is when they started getting govt subsidies.
It would be really nice, IMO, if they could get a system worked out that made some sense. I would prefer it, I think, to flying but as I stated above, it is cheaper to fly from where I live.
Of course, it's cheaper to buy a car, tag, insurance, gas and drive from where I live than it is to fly, even with the govt subsidised airlines.
