Bad P-Way

And people say Britain's railways are in a state!

It really gets bad around and after the 20 second mark!

And you lot moan about Notwork rail

That track will last about a minute, and there is another one belowit on the menu on the right

Seems that SNCF have a lack of security fencing protecting their TGV lines...

Great video though

I don't want to make this into a rant but they take the sensible view that you do things at your own risk so they can save money on nannying people about.

The crossover in Donny station was nearly as bad as that until they replaced it. Sensibly there was a huge TSR over it until they fixed it.

Doesn't it just need more ballast?

Hmm. I wonder if those TSRs are still at Derby, been there well over a year.

I'm guessing somewhere near his home area of Rijeka in Croatia. I found the way the rails are attached to the sleepers interesting.

Nick W · 13th July 2006, 00:53

I'm guessing it's the raiway that passes by him. After all would you want to go more than 45mph on track like that?

compsci · 13th July 2006, 20:05

I've just got back from Milan, and as far as I can tell there was something like a 20mph (except in km/h obviously) TSR for most of the way to Como where I was also staying. Progress was so slow it was depressing.

Either that or someone forgot to wind the train up.

Nah, a driver took it in the suburbs of the capital...

Our railways are safe, but because what, they lower the linespeed with every new TT, back arround 15 years it was 140 km/h there...
