      Ehhhhhhhh, considering the UK is basically the same size as ONE midwestern state … it’s highly debatable as to who has failed worse. (note: both are still abysmal failures, but one country has a goal post MUCH closer than the other)

      By a mile? How many miles of operational rail do we have? Now how many miles do you have? The US has approximately 140,000, mi. There is approximately 10,000 mi of rail across Great Britain and Northern Ireland…

      As my British friend Tom used to say

      Mate you fucking flunked your maths schooling didn’t ya.
