RE: Read the F****** Schedule (Ulog #33)
This is the train station in Den Haag (Netherlands), they recently renovated the station here but it is a pretty decent system in Europe. I really quite enjoy using it if I have time and don't need to fly...
The front train is the fast intercity train, and the one behind is the slower Sprinter that stops at the little towns. If course there are the really fast Ice and thalys trains, but they don't stop at this station.
Way more advanced than Adelaide. We don't have any sort of fast trains, but then again, outs city is quite small, so fast trains would probably be redundant!! I've heard good things about European travel, and would love to experience it one day.
Oh, but fast trains to the other cities would be amazing! It is such a nice way to travel...
Although, probably Australia has too small a population over too much area to make it feasible at the moment. I remember taking the train between Canberra and Sydney, before they dumped it. I lived it, the bus is not quite the same and flying is a pain in the bum!
Yeah, busses suck, and flying is cramped when you're over 6 feet tall. Plus, it's getting quite expensive now, especially when you want to take the kids on a holiday. I guess it would be nice to have some high speed trains here, but I don't think it will happen too quickly. The main interstate passenger lines we have wouldn't like it. They have quite a monopoly on this.
