Another reason trains are shit, they can\'t cope with hills.

Neither can boats. But, for heavy transportation, those ARE the best we
have available.

You can erase hill obstacles, for boats, with canals. You can erase hill obstacles, for
trains, with tunnels. It just takes engineering.

Looks an efficient way of cramming people in like sardines. Until you factor in the wasted space for the stairs.

The practice of using different voltage levels on electrified railway
lines in the UK is known as \"multi-system electrification\" and was
introduced in the mid-20th century to allow trains to operate across
different parts of the network that were electrified using different
technologies.

The use of multiple voltage levels on electrified railway lines in the
UK gradually declined over the years, and by the 1980s, most of the
multi-system electrification had been replaced by a standard voltage of
25kV. However, some sections of the network continued to use different
voltage levels until the 2000s.

The process of switching between voltage levels was done using on-board
electrical equipment known as \"multi-system locomotives\" or
\"dual-voltage trains\". These trains were designed to be able to operate
on both 25kV and 6.25kV overhead lines and were equipped with
transformers and other electrical equipment that allowed them to switch
between the two voltage levels as they travelled along the track.

The reliability of multi-system electrification was generally good,
although there were occasional issues with the switching equipment
on-board the trains, which could cause delays and disruptions to
services. Over time, improvements in technology and the gradual phasing
out of multi-system electrification has resulted in a more reliable and
efficient railway network in the UK.

Thameslink still uses 25kV on the northern section and third-rail DC

Should be used on all tracks, then perhaps trains could stop in the
distance my car is required to by law.

Do the math.

If I did the maths I\'d get a more complete answer.

A fully laden coal car weighs about 140 tons. I\'ve never been
bored enough to count cars when I stopped at a crossing but there are a
lot of them. Let\'s say 30 for the sake of argument, 4200 tons plus the
weight of the engines. Let\'s say 4 at 200 tons each. So, roughly
5000 tons
traveling at 50 mph. That\'s quite a bit of kinetic energy to dump in
300\'.
I can hear snapping axles and see flying wheels.

But there are many wheels.

A fully laden truck/lorry/whatever you call them over there can\'t
stop as quick as a car, but it can stop in a safe distance.  A train
cannot, it\'s not fit for purpose.  If something unexpected happens,
it just ploughs through it.  Trains are outdated technology and it\'s
high time we got rid of them.  Maybe a maglev can stop quicker?

Trains are about 5x as efficient as trucks for moving stuff.

Depends which statistic you believe.  And trains can only go where there
are tracks, so much loading and unloading and messing about at both ends.

Has maglev ever really worked? Most maglev systems came and went.

I thought all Japanese trains were maglev.  You get a refund if you\'re
more than 10 seconds late.

You think a lot of things, most of them quite fanciful.
