Reply With QuoteIf that wasn't the truth , the article could have made the jokes thread. Maybe the rail operators should get a couple of these guys over to get the trains running even half as good.
AT RESTWhen I was over in Japan it is impressive on how efficiently they run their public transport system.
we are lucky if our system runs on time and within 5 mins is acceptable of scheduled time before it is classed as late .
but in Japan leaving 20 secs early and having to wait 4 mins for the next train is shameful by their standards, LOL

hehe Japan certainly doesn't share our 'close enough is good enough' attitude eh! Although I am quite glad...that's a bit anal.

Here in Adelaide, they generally run on time or just a few mins late...and most of the late running is caused by passengers who don't turn up to station on time. the good drivers leave the 'runners' behind and run on time...the not so good drivers disrespect the majority who turned up on time...and wait for those runners.
We need highspeed trains...
Like the ICE or Shinkansen...
Imagine, Perth to Adelaide in 10 hours... Sydney to Melbourne 3 hours... Brisbane to Melbourne in 8 hours....
Not sure if a highspeed is fast enough to cross the Bas straight without a bridge???

How many stops would be along these routes?? It would be suitable for regional people getting to a capital however would be stuck with a limited timetable.Originally Posted by Wraithe
