Why can't we have one? Anyone from the U.K will be pissed off that the CHINESE can afford these trains!

well the question is, why cant the UK get trains that go on time and over 20 miles per hour, the public transport here is rubbish.

A couple of years ago I spent three weeks in Switzerland and the

public transport there is so reliable and punctual it puts the UK to

shame. Why can't somebody from the government spend a bit of

time there and learn how its done ?

well said, the government needs to get its ass in gear, the standard of all public transport is appalling.
