Meanwhile in Scotland, somewhere with similarish land and planning laws. We're electrifying the whole network, dualing large sections that were single track, removing peak fares, upgrading the rolling stock, and opening brand new stations.

Having a decent rail service is entirely a political choice. Whether those in power want to make it happen or not.

All about setting priorities. One could start a war instead, leading to closing and reopening the Straight of Hormuz, a fuckton of civilian and material casualties and having nothing achieved. What's more "fun"??? Boys be boys, aye?

For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.
