Are there any fans of Britain's railways out there? Don't forget that we are part of Europe (especially when viewed from elsewhere in the world). http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
There are many changes taking place on the UK rails, which would make interesting posts.

No fans of Britain's railways then? Perhaps they have all defected to US railroads http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

Alan,
Whoever ownes this board is not doing enough to promote it! I mention this board on every other board I visit.
That being said, the UK has more railroads than highways. Is there a darth of computers in the UK?
BTW is it true that the UK has a 70mph/120kph speed limit?

When in doubt, empty your magazine.

Chris, yes, we do have computers here http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif Although not as many as in the US, as we have to pay for internet access, but not me http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif I have the only true free one at present, no joining or monthly fees, and no phone charges between 6 pm and 8 am, or anytime at weekends. So I can browse without clock-watching! Other ISP's are beginning to get the message http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
No, we do not have more railways than roads, but the ratio is higher than in the States. As SM said, our major main lines are 125mph, it's our motorways that have a 70mph limit http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
You must realise that there are a lot more of you, England is only about the size of an average state http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif But we will gradually show people that this is an International forums board, it is a very young board, and will take time to build, and the majority of contributors will always be from the USA, which pleases me, as I am an avid fan of your railroads.
