Koln Hbf could be classed as one of the major hubs in Europe. Many trains pass through there on the way from west to east. | ||||

the ICE is well worth a trip - I made a few trips Hamburg - Mainz/Frankfurt some years ago when ICE first arrived. amazing. | ||||

yes, 20 mph. I guess it means 20 mph when crossing the points and going to the left. | ||||

theres been or going to be repairs to nearly every line in the UK at some time or other. cant remember the exact amount but billions of pounds are being used to repair station, lines etc etc throughout the whole uk. and also improve punctuality (maybe one day we'll be _close_ to Finnish ;) | ||||

Actually, many trains from the South Coast are at least 8 carriages at busy times (such as commuter time early in the morning and early evening). Two flavours of trains run from London to Portsmouth - slow trains stopping at every station and fast stopping at the main stations. This cuts down the 2.5 hour trip to just 1.5 hours. | ||||

on my recent belgium trip I passed a long line of cargo trucks marked with italian markings, I guess they send normal cargo through the chunnel frequently as well as loading up actual channel tunnel trains with trucks on the flatbeds. | ||||

thats pretty unlikely - at the time of BR's privatisation there was no channel tunnel and it was very rare for wagons like this to be transported across the channel by boat! | ||||

some trains are longer than the small country stations and an announcement usually says `please make sure you are in the front 4 coaches of the train if you want to get off here` etc. | ||||

yes, the third rail indeed. its extremely dangerous to touch that rail and it makes life kind of interesting at crossings when you have to walk over it! actually, they do turn it off when no train is approaching, the power 'follows' the train (if you see what I mean) | ||||
