Sigh, why did you pick Russia?
They are using German trains from Siemens.
You could have put France instead and had a cool picture of the TGV.
-
It's honestly kind of wild to not pick France in general, they're amazing at trains
-
Well, when they're not striking.
-
-
The point isn't who made what, it's who's using what.
-
I think simply having the trains is the point.

You were going to get modern rail, but conservatives are bastards.

Well we've invested more into HSR than any of those countries combined. Well it's not quite finished Well it doesn't run the length of was intended quite a bit shorter Yes cancelled you say right

The little train that… awww, mum, effort, stop nagging me, can’t be bothered!
-
The little engine that didn't wanna.

German rail is not doing too hot these days either.
-
It's funny that the country that invented trains has worse trains than the US.
-
I wouldn't go that far.
-
What are you talking about, America is the worst at it by a mile
-
-
By a mile? How many miles of operational rail do we have? Now how many miles do you have? The US has approximately 140,000, mi. There is approximately 10,000 mi of rail across Great Britain and Northern Ireland........
As my British friend Tom used to say
Mate you fucking flunked your maths schooling didn't ya.

Your comment shouldn't be downvoted, it's certainly debatable who has the worse rail
-
All I'm saying is Amtrak hasn't folded and rebranded three different times in the last decade. https://youtu.be/IayST598Vxo

Nah mate that’s a massive exaggeration. US rail is absolutely centuries behind UK rail.
-
It certainly doesn’t.

☝️🤓 Um, actually, the 4-decade-old "Pacer" (pictured) was retired a few years ago.
It was replaced by the exciting new "Sprinter", merely 40 years old.
Wow! So futuristic!So the 40 year old was replaced with a 40 year old
Prince Andrew would not be impressed.
I've always loved Britain's impotent vehicle aesthetic. It's just so adorable, like watching bunnies.
I used to work at Paddington Station, I'm sure we had streamlined trains.
Also, don't we have pendolinos anymore?
Gotta admit, the old school high air resistance trains look cute though.
I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been a retrofit of some kind to at least make an attempt at aerodynamics for it. I guess it would be minimal efficiency savings.
