Rails. Part-One.

Speed and Modernisation?

What is delaying much advancement in railways is outdated signalling, rotting wooden sleepers and old stock management! 

These are some of the facts that are stopping modernisation in the U.K., but its far worse in some places both near and far?

Train development has raced ahead, without considering other key factors that might need to be changed first? Privatisation has much to play in patching up the networks, because governments want to give us a false image of their failures in properly financing the lines infrastructure!

Many promises get left unfulfilled over the years and left to others to deal with or cancel! But where there is serious changes the problems are that they are too late and overcrowding or empty stock remain a problem that causes much more friction!

What is needed is commitment and vision that will be backed up with huge amounts of money and interested parties to keep investing? Consideration for the disabled and getting on with gradual adaptions to meet the needs of wheel chair access, and much more for the blind, not talking and never doing?

Britains New Trains.

Sleek Speed.

Progress is all about getting from A to B/Z faster and in more comfort and so it would seem that the introduction of newer stock is required to do this? Many people who use the trains on a regular bases across mainland U.K. are frustrated with the rise in fares and lack of comfort to get a seat?

Over the years much misinformation has been passed to the media over several issues such as the need of no guards on trains and the availability of stock in certain areas? Much of this is based around costs and the loss of lucrative profits?

Other issues not only with trains, but also buses has been that of making space available for disabled people? This will require a massive change of attitudes to end the despising of the disabled and older folks, while also investing in modernising infrastructure and making everything level?
