Hello everyone! I am from the United States, in Florida; I hope this is ok for everyone since I am a foreigner from this forum. Great to see more electrification and Net Carbon Zero technologies in the UK Railways being developed and tested. But what puzzles me is that the UK government...

Hello everyone I am sorry to interrupt all of you, I am a Foreigner here from the United States and I have to say I am very excited and happy that Network Rail and the UK Government is thinking forward for the Railways and High Speed Rail. I hope this all gets build it would be exciting and...

Ah so that explains it, it does make sense. So it has to do with what the history and the traffic the Railways had in general that was the deciding factor for the Electrification of the Railways.

While I am a Foreigner in the United States seeing these plans from the Transport Committee, Network Rail and all that I am super happy that the UK is pursuing a Modernization program such as this where a Zero-Net future is possible and to me its awesome. I love the idea that Alot of the major...

Thats the thing that I love the fact that your country is accessible, Of course not right now with "COVID" but when normally comes back its very accessible. the USA its only accessible in certain regions of the USA since outside of them their railways but they are like once a day or recently...

Happy New Year everyone! Anyways I wanted to say that I was wondering when and if possible I can come to the UK (When this whole mess subsides), That I will be able to get a UK Railway Pass like how in some countries for example Japan has a Railway Passes for their Railway network like mostly...

Well my Parents are from Colombia, But there Railways in Colombia is not extensive at all, just some mining railways. But cities like Medellin have a Modern Metrorail system with two lines, Cable Car service like the Disney Skyliner at WDW and a Tram Service. But most Cities in Colombia has went...

I heard of the Beeching Axe and read about it and I have to say the government was very short sighted in cutting out Rail lines from Towns and cities, whole communities lost Railways from this "Axe" but I am glad to see many Rail services being restored and even some upgraded to modern standards...

I wasn't aware of that my topic has been moved but I think its much better as this is sort of a prospective of what I observed from British Railways from a Foreigner (Me) but never been anywhere in Europe. So I got York marked, and I do want to go to Liverpool and Manchester, Newcastle...

Thank you and I agree Well actually The aviation Career is something I wanted to do ever since I was little so in a way its fulfilling but I will keep that in mind about the British Pub. Our history was also grandiose as well with the Great Northern Railway (Current Amtrak Empire Builder)...

Thank you, This is what I wanted to hear, I understand without the right papers and immigration I would not be able to work in the UK or live for that matter, I am glad that Network Rail and other companies don't look down on Foreigners. I am aware about the Massive Shock like I said before I...

I want to know what happened to the Railway Electrification academies that Network Rail was set to build to learn from Railway electrification of the UK Railway routes, Wales, and Scotland? I thought that they had a vision and was set out to complete it? I feel there is still alot of potential...

Also another thing i want to add is there any politician or Figure who wants to see Electrification resume i am sure there is plenty like Richard Branson, any politicians in power, that want to see Electrification continue but that ones that make sense and that has a high traffic capacity to...

Darn that really sucks i understand that its about economics and time savings and all that, but maybe there can be other options to electrification. One of my ideas is probably getting the infrastructure ready to be electrified but that it can put up the poles and all that stuffs at a later...

Howdy folks i am from the United States and i heard of more electrification of the UK Railways i became happy that finally they are doing it, but the cancellation makes me sad that they are putting a pause on it, and i wonder why not take the initiative and keep on going. Electrification can do...
