It's embarrassing to live in a country where people can honestly say 'if I was rich I'd take the train'.
In the 1980s we had a passenger rail system that could get your from one end of the country to the other, on an ordinary worker's wage. But after more than 4 decades of corporatisation and underinvestment, intercity trains are marketed as a scenic tourist attraction, and only the well-heeled can afford a ticket to ride them.
