I'm on a train heading out of London. It's a journey I've taken lots of times before. This particular train has brand new carriages. They've taken out the dining car, so you can't even buy an overpriced bottle of water. They've removed all the tables, so you have to balance your laptop on your knees, which are banging into the passenger opposite because the seats are so close together. They've included charging sockets but have screwed covers over thm to prevent you from using them. WTF?
The lights are so bright as to make you squint. Genuinely headache inducing. The heating is turned up to Max. None of the windows open. The seats are the opposite of ergonomic. There is literally nothing of any human convenience provided. It costs 42 quid.. It is over an hour late.
- Taiwan have had a high speed rail for years, it's on time, spacious, nice trolly cart and you can buy wooden boxed bentos. Tickets bought on the day are cheap.shapesalad
- Taiwan isn't even officially recognised a country by the majority of the world and they got excellent trains. The UK invented the f*cking train!shapesalad
