Many times the auto doors don't work so if there isn't a chalked "X" on the inside or a sign you end up missing your stop if you can't scoot to another carriage in time. Serious lack of heat in the winter is another problem. I won't even mention the stations and the climb from the platform up a near vertical incline into the carriage. Watching some of the older people or women with kids and bags is truly painful. Station platforms need to be modified and new trains purchased, preferably from a Latvian producer. Maybe Slesers, Lembergs or Skele can take a few days off from raping the country to get this industry sector moving and employing. And paying taxes of course!<br /><br />Sorry about the rant.TRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018204726663523430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449703263713890315.post-8700688184198649172010-05-20T07:41:01.694+03:002010-05-20T07:41:01.694+03:00Nice photo, especially with the bright colors of t...Nice photo, especially with the bright colors of the train popping out from all of that metal.T.

As long as it gets people from A to B. Of course some the western European trains are fabulous, especially in Switzerland, France and Italy.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581375024537168350noreply@blogger.com
