Just wondering here... because the ones in Sydney really really SUCK! Constantly late, the trains themselves are mostly junk from the 70s. The loudspeakers on them are usually really crackly if they work at all, and there's delays everywhere when there's a bit of rain. They are hopeless. (Oh and the newest trains which are nice are now being scrapped because they are too high tech for the old system   ) Other than that they have out of date maps stuck on to the walls  

The ones that are were i am now in horsham are all freight trains, and you can set your watch by them

Well most of the trains on the Long Island Railroad are pretty good. They put a ton of new trains in eastbound, but they're double deckers, and won't fit in one of the older (but very highly used) stations thats on-route to New York City.

our trains ar ok, and relatively timely, but very expencive

We have something called 'Metra' for going between downtown Chicago and the outside suburbs.  Works pretty well.

They should scrap the system...

Well, I live in Tennessee, and the only train we have here really, is just a tourist train.  Doesn't go very fast, but it comes at almost the exact same time each morning, because you can hear the train whistling.

Hmm, the Perth Transperth trains are often on time and I don't have any quarrels with them.

Considering I have to use them to get to university every week, I'm glad they're like that.

Trains in Atlanta don't come out far enought to where i live so I don't get to use them....but they are ok for the few times I have been on them.

I just love how the trains run in europe...wish we had them here.

You don't live here anymore, Florida boy... I hear they tried to get trains down there, but too many workers died of typhoid and alligators trying to cross the swamps.
