Isn't septa that railway company which cut back 20% of all services?
I sure would love to have a railway like that I can rely on!1!1!1!1

This is what I ask every year when fuel tax doesn't increase.

Funny how no one else wonders the same though.

The Class 800 is that one card that beats your card every time but the moment you get it you lose instantly and the opponent has the Class 800 again

There was quite a bit of variety in each meal, serving rice, soup, meat & salad so you can eat healthily.

Price wise it's very cheap thanks to the exchange rate.

Overall, although it's not a standout restaurant it's always there for you, serving good, filling food for great prices.

I was on that train, but it didn't feel like wheelslip, more like it misread where the platform was.
The train overshot by about 3 carriages and unfortunately the guard was at the front door of the train so had to run all the way to the other end to get it back into the station.

The heavy rain over the Kansai region was so severe that JR had to suspend a line.

After leaving my luggage it was on to the Kyoto Tower, then to Senbon Tori (A Thousand Torii) at Inari. However, my time at the thousand gates was cut short by a thunderstorm which was closing in on the area, so I hurried back to the hotel, ending my first day in Kyoto.

The hotel I was staying in was the Kyoto Century Hotel, which has a window next to the lifts which faces the tracks of Kyoto Station. Its a decent place for trainspotting in general but is great if you don't want to suffer in temperatures of 30+ degrees

After getting off at Karasuma, I did some trainspotting at the station then went to Shijo station to take the Kyoto Subway Karasuma Line to Kyoto Station, where I proceeded to immediately get lost.

Next, I took the Kyo-train Garaku to Karasuma station in Kyoto. This was my first Limited Express train, and it was very interesting to see how different carriages had different seating layouts. The train was very busy thanks to social media but fortunately I managed to get a seat.

Business class seating for economy prices (at least by UK standards)

This video is either backwards or the train is running in the wrong direction

In summary, I don't have a "low opinion of people's intelligence", but rather a low opinion of railways providing enough information for passengers
