英國 Southampton: 連續兩日沒有火車服務

火車站內有幾位職員, 不斷安排乘客改搭巴士了

好多乘客去到火車站, 見到列車顯示版都話: 'Oh no, they are all buses!',
而接駁巴士叫做 'Rail Replacement Service'

Wow！連續兩日冇火車……
睇見樓上既回應同樓主篇文，不禁想起香港既鐵路系統
是多麼完善。內地既鐵路可能仲要比外國更好。

two or three weeks ago, I went down to Southampton, and my train was delayed
in Salisbury as the train went out of order...

And, one of my friend who went back from Southampton to Bath yesterday was also
delayed by about half an hour...

I have been in Bath for 4 years, and the train station has been closed for engineering
work for more than 4 times now...
Three weeks ago, my journey to Swindon was affected totally by enginnering work
and rail-replacement and I had to stay in Bath for one more night!!
ANNOYING!

唔好咁唸...
英國起碼有高速0既Intercity 125,時速200km!
中國果d都冇咁勁...

高速又點？如果好似澳大利亞Cityrail咁成日脫班就大件事啦！

英國既火車快得黎都唔多安全，上次劉海若單野就係最佳例證

The HK railway system and the UK railway system of tracks incomparable.  Plus regular engineering works can ensure the quality of the tracks.  Much better than fixing the track after the fatal accidents at Hatfield and Potters Bar.

If I remember right, Network Rail can now replace 2km of rail per hour.  I wonder how efficient is the HK railway maintenace team then.  Any figures for further discussion?

For the past 10 years, Network Rail has recorded 'a good number' of fatal accidents.  Not to mention accidents at the level-crossing.

In addition, using pakchi70's example, that London is so lack of an orbital railway network.  The 'spider map' concept has always been targeted as out-fashioned.  Imagine a city where you can cross-town in 1 hr but there is no orbital connection throughout the city!  Take London as an example,  you can get to Epping from West Ruslip in 75mins.  However, to get to Kingston from West Ruslip by Tube + BR would be a disaterous mission!! I occasionally travel from Acton to Clapham and Clapham to Peckham, thanks to the improvements on the Silverlink Metro, I can now spend less time for my first leg.  But the half-an-hourly Southern service to Peckham is just awful.  With the East London Line extension, hopefully this will ease 'some' of the problem.  I personally the crossrail project is just a laugh, or  probably a new way to rip-off passengers and tax-payers?

You are quite lucky there!  If you look at South West Train's Service.  Woking Junction has been shut down completely for 2-consecutive Christmas period (23 Dec - 3 Jan) in order to fix the signals and the tracks in the latter year, which is why Stagecoach decided to have its own fleet of Rail Replacement buses.

同埋外國唔會有半夜維修路軌呢支歌仔.

中國有就有高速鐵路, 廣深的「爛賤」, 「新時速」, 和現在另一條線引入
的「新幹線」, 都係高速鐵路.

其實因鐵路維修以巴士代火車, 香港係有試過, 當年東鐵試過取消尾班車來
維修路軌及訊號系統一段時間, 該尾班車以巴士代替行走.

根據小弟數年前坐過一次由廣州東→深圳的經驗，我認為爛賤的車廂內振動程度係比本地某某快速鐵路為好的。
