Cool app with some useful features.

Here is my custom map of UK trains that are affordable

And here is my map of UK trains that aren't subsidised despite being 'private companies'

And here is a map of trains that use the fact they are moving quickly through the air to provide some semblance of ventilation

Hey wait a minute, there isn't any train on any of these maps!


Thank you for confirming that it is working correctly


Now do cars!

Every car that doesn't use any subsidies. Every car that's lifecyle CO2-neutral. Etc.


Are you implying in anti-train?

I think trains should be subsidised. Business needs its workers moved around, so central taxation should pay for that benefit. I just don't think those subsidies should go into train company profits.

I don't think me being annoyed that an object moving at 70 mph can't get a movement in air is an anti train stance either. It is a swipe at the people who sealed up the windows without a plan b.

In a couple of weeks I'm going 300 miles on a work trip on a route that is perfectly well served by train... but I'll take the car because it is half the price, so why give up the convenience?

I am pro train, anti the current setup
