Naturally, what trains we do have are about to go bankrupt.
### And a good riddance, too. They are too expensive, and the customers are
staying away in droves, with all the amenities you describe being unable to
make up for the price. Of course, you could take some money from
non-travelling persons (like me) and allow the travellers to have a
marvellous travelling experience at my cost - but I do hope you do not
advocate that.
---- Being squashed is not because some people are larger than others, but because the seats are too close for comfort even for skinny people, and because there are too many seats in the first place. ### No, there are exactly as many seats as the customers want. The customers exercise their free choice between cost and convenience, and most of them decide they want to keep more of their money, even at the risk of leg cramps and DVT's. If I ever have to fly somewhere, I'll fly Southwest, because I'll have low price without the risk of being squashed by lard. I hope more airlines follow suit. Rafal
