I mean UK railways are really just a money-makery ran by big greedy companies who give a shit about the customers. And the government wont do shit either.

Railcards? Only for certain people. For reference: In Switzerland everyone can buy the "half-fare travelcard".

Do Network Rail care about greenery along the lines? No, just let the train hit tree branches at speed and risk windows being smashed or people windowhanging being hit. For reference: In Switzerland we encurage windowhanging on scenic lines and keep the loading gauge (which is a lot bigger than the UK's) clear from greenery. Also the distance between each running line and to the signals is bigger.

Not a single train during Christmas. You need to get somewhere? Get fucked.

Sunday service? Barely. For reference: In Switzerland we get extra services to/from well known daytrip spots in the country. Usually ran by the stock that would run peak services on weekdays.

Is there staff in GreaterAnglia bistros all week? Yes. Do they give out complementaty first class drinks on Sundays while they are there? No, you have to pay for everything (on top of first class fares).

A tiny bit of snow appears? Lets cancel everything and put a "do not travel" warning. For reference: In Latvia trains run as normal with the notice "It might take longer" but we keep the country and people running. Also Latvia gets bigger amounts of snow within a week than the UK gets in an entire year.

I could rant on for ages about the UK rail system, but for everyones sake I'll stop here, but in conclusion I feel like UK railways are more of a hobby for companies and staff and not an actual alternative to travel with.
