something clever
I think the main difference is other countries have had the intelligence to invest the time, Money and the land in creating decent rail networks where as in this country we're still trying to run a modern railway on an old fashioned network. Another difference being that again in other countries they seem to just get on and do things but here we spend most of our time looking for reasons why things can't be done.
In this country we spend all the money on overpaid railway staff!!!
