Sorry the "rail employees" camp (have I tarred too many with the brush?)
still haven't explained to me why when I go to Japan, HK, China and so the
trains don't run late much, the staff seem to be more polite and they don't
have garbage all over the floor. I keep missing something in the lectures
about how hard it is to run a railway. Those Asians (which a previous poster
said are such dangerous types, not being able to drive a car etc...) perhaps
they should get off our roads and into our drivers cabs, guards
compartments, signal boxes and ticket offices, show us how to run a railway.
Maybe the Chinese method is best, remember they execute 33,000 people every
year, heaven help the driver of the 08:07 to Beijing!
