meanwhile in Finland if there is a one leaf on the rails trains will be late for hours or delayed for a day xD

@Hebu If I remember correctly, British railroads once blamed a shutdown day not on the fact that there were leaves on the tracks, but "the wrong KIND of foliage" ...

I wish I could keep up with all the new comics

Me when i rail england

All that drawing effort for a dumb leaf pun. I can't beleaf it.

Ah darn, that doesn't leaf many puns for me to make

Omg!! a new comic yay!

Yay a new comic

yeah that's good and all but how about england repay the 5 billion they took from wales transport funding when they declared HS2 a "england and wales project" despite none of the tracks going into wales.
or the £500 million they took when they declared "oxford to cambridge line" an england and wales project despite the closest it comes to wales being 150km
instead they decided wales will get £500 million additional funding.... spread over 10 years.

meanwhile to get from say bangor to cardiff you have to travel into england down through england then back into wales adding hours onto a trip
heck there's one point in north wales where if you want to get to another town just a few miles away you have to go into chester, down to shrewsbury and then all the way back across and up the west coast. a 4 hour trip, I can get from bristol to scotland in the same time.

@crwydryny You should complain. Much of the United States is inaccessible by rail, and those parts that are are distinctly slow and expensive. For instance you can take a commuter flight between Portland and Seattle (about 270km) for about the same as a train ticket and arrive in 40 minutes instead of 3.5 hours. Call it between $40 and $60.

That said, the train drops you right in downtown Seattle close to the sports stadiums and returns to downtown Portland. Flights between the two go from Portland International (25-40 minutes from downtown Portland) to Boeing Field (9-20 minutes from downtown Seattle.) Depending on time of day of course. Traffic in both places is horrible.

So in reality your choices depend on where you live and how much you like flying.

Depending on the time of day I can drive to Seattle for about $22 in about 2.5 hours, but the stress of the traffic and parking in and around Seattle isn't worth it.

All of this is one-way.

Ha.
HA-ha.
Ha ha ha.
BWA-HA ha ha hah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!

Well, this is the came country that came up with "David Plowie" and "Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney"
