Phil Allsopp@tiffanycli If China can do this - and a lot more, along with Europe, there's no reason we can't. Its utterly ridiculous that everything is either "drive" or "fly"
Fubarrockchick@pallsopp42 @tiffanycli I dont know, scotrail cancel trains cos its too hot, or too wet, or leaves on the line, etc etc not sure weather conditions are totally compatible 🤷♀️
@Legend @tiffanycli Line maintenance is, I'm sure, an ever-present task. In the desert southwest, there might be challenges with blowing dust and sand from time to time so maybe "self-cleaning" sections at the front of the train might be needed - but maybe not. We move freight on what looks like pretty marginal rail bed all across the country...so why not people on modern purpose-built rail bed? We have the space.
