Have you ever been to the UK?.
My wife and daughter went by train to Leicester yesterday, they were catching the train at Chesterfield and the train was 50 minutes late - apparently due to vandlism of the signals further north (which was fair enough). Once they actually got on the train, it was announced that the train was finishing at Derby, and you would have to catch another train. Derby station is a huge building site, and that caused LOT's of chaos there. Eventually they got on another train, and obviously all the people who had paid for reserved seats no longer had them! - so that caused lots of problems, including an entire carriage full of young Indian lads who were off on holiday together.
When they got to Leicester, my wife and daughter were OK as they were getting off, but the other travellers found they had to swap trains yet again!, causing even more chaos!.
The UK is well known for the poor performance and high costs of train travel, India is probably better!.
The now defunkt Grundig Electronics company used to have their UK headquarters at Rugby (where the game was invented), and actually had railway lines directly into their warehouse. However, everytime I went there the lines were piled up and covered by stock - apparently the UK was the only country in the world where Grundig didn't distribute via the rail network - too expensive and too unreliable!.
Yea true. There are problems every where. When we go to India, we too dont like to travel by train, the delay is mostly the same. But they are kinda more prone t accidents too. Its been 10 years since have last traveled by train
