In the US you can't even take a train from little towns or villages as they ripped out most of the lines and only use them to move garbage around but not people. And our tracks are such bad shape that our trains travel SO SLOW.
When I'm in the UK I am always amazed and jealous of their trains, so effieceint and fast. If our trains could be the speed of English trains then when @winstonalden took his train into the city for work he'd get there in 20 minutes instead it's over an hour AND he has to drive 30 minutes to a much larger town to catch the train, even though if it were 1940 he could just catch it our our little village here, as the trains used to run from the city to all the little villages on the Cape all the way to the very end. Now you have to just sit in cars in traffic in Summer to get anywhere.
