(, Fri 23 Jan 2015, 9:57, Reply)
This is a normal post Well, I kinda call bullshit to that.
Heavy rail can last from 30 to 100 years before needing a full refit...
And newer track systems (1970's onwards) are projected to last even longer.

Most maintenance is at crossings and heavy stress curves, the rest is pretty stable.
For lets say 15000 movements a year (about one train every 30 min)?
I'd say that the maintenance cost of a 100 miles of track, the rolling stock and two train stations over 30 years.
Is probably a magnitude or two lower than than the maintenance of two airports, the aircraft's and others (comms, radars etc) at 100 miles from one another.

Then if you factor in energy. It becomes ridiculously in favour of trains.

So the difference is going somewhere but where? I say aliens.

But I have been led to believe that some analysis was done looking comparing national railways to our motorway / a-road system, and the conclusion was that the best value for money the government can get means never building any more train tracks ever again and just building motorways everywhere.

www.transport-watch.co.uk/facts-sheet-7-rail-versus-road-capital-costs-track

(Personally, I don't agree with this, since I need the train system and I'm already shafted daily by the prices, I'm just pointing out the absurdity of the order-of-magnitude difference in cost)

Amongst others.

This is a normal post Last November
we flew from Berlin to Naples, took the train to Sorrento, took a boat to Capri and back, returned to Naples by train (stopping off at Pompeii), flew from Naples to Luton airport, took a train from Luton to Nottingham, and later flew from East Midlands airport back to Berlin. The cost of the train from Luton to Nottingham was more than the total cost of all the other travel we did. That must be wrong!

This is a normal post Yep
When I see the prices of tickets we paid in Japan...

Quick test:
- Luton to Nottingham: 144KM: $45,50 to £104 - so £0.32 to £0.72 per mile.
- Tokyo Central to Shinfuji 142Km: $31.60 - $0.22 per mile.
And in Japan, it's a Shinkansen that makes anything rolling in the UK look a bit like an open top cattle box car with service from a disgruntled East German border guard.
If you took the local train - about the same speed as an UK train, the price would be even lower. But still more comfy.
And this is Tokyo, the real estate might be a tad more expensive than in Luton.

As a quick story:
In Japan, we took the train on average once a day for 3 weeks.
All spot on time. Except one.
It was 3minutes late, the horror! The staff was on the verge of tears...
Bowing, excusing themselves for being lazy etc.
Came back to Belgium, second day back to Uni, train 45 min late and terminates one station early - effectively putting all the passengers 1 hour late.
The driver and the controller were having a gay old laugh about it.

This is a normal post That sounds about right
BTW admittedly we did have to pay the top whack for the Luton to Nottingham train, and the flights were RyanAir & Easyjet at the lowest price we could get them. But still ...
Here in Germany you can for example get any day of the week a Brandenburg-Berlin ticket for 29€ that gives unlimited travel anywhere in Brandenburg for up to five people for 24hrs.
If you can't get together five people there are numerous websites where you can advertise for co-travellers. That's 6€ per person, and if you are on a popular run you can even end up making a profit!

This is a normal post My view about all this is the same as Princess Di's death
It's really simple; unfortunately people, regardless of fame, do tend to die of things on a regular basis. There's nothing to it.

Have we got an Actuary on /Links? They'll tell us what the likelihood of us dying is. Probably fairly high to definite I'd say. The question is timing, and people don't expect famous people to die. That Deirdre Barlow knew the secret, obviously.

If anyone was going to get it then Enfield and Whitehouse should be dead by now. They were alluding to the DJ profession having "young friends" frequently in Smashy and Nicey sketches.
(, Thu 22 Jan 2015, 17:34, Reply)
This is a normal post That's true

I guess basically you would just need to find what percentage of the population are 'celebrities' and compare it against unexpected death rates of the whole population. Theirs should be the same proportion. BUT you must also consider the whole 27 club thing, that famous people are more likely to be exposed to stuff that would bump them off early.
I think it's a massive conspiracy. You should pop over, and see my collection of tin foil hats...
