Every curve in the plot is going up, except for the US and UK. South Korea and China just have the most dramatic rises.


UK is still building we’re just struggling for space and already have a tonne of railways. The issue here is more about getting extra capacity with what we have.


Don’t you also have routing issues on many trips? Basically everything runs to or from London.


Long distance a lot of trains run through Birmingham. If you pick a journey between two of the top 20 urban areas cities by most direct rail routes very few go though London.

There’s certainly a capacity issue though.


Take a look at say, Yeovil (Gifle for the historians) with its five stations from the past, of which two remain.

If you look closely at a particular flag stone on platform 2 at Pen Mill station it doesn't have "TylerE is a wanker" chiseled into it.

I can make a change.

This is all rather silly. We don't engage. Bloody kids.


What the hell is your problem?


"Basically everything runs to or from London."

No it doesn't.

Yeovil is still a junction with only two stations these days. It used to have four or five. Its also the confluence of the A30 and A37 roads.

I don't have a problem - you clearly are not from these parts. That's fine and you will be welcome.
