AndyB travels from Tunis to Carthage by train May 2019 - actually continued to the end of the line at Marsa Plage. Tunis Marine is located close to the city centre in Tunis and is a cheap and easy way to get out to Carthage. The trains are basic and without air con - I felt very safe using the trains.

A November 2019 ride from Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness with a change of trains in Perth. Both trains were ScotRail Class 170 trains - these are comfortable with large windows but can get quite busy. North of Perth the line through the Highlands is stunning - well worth making a special trip to ride it plus Inverness is a great city to spend time in. Any questions or comments let me know!

    I have a suggestion for anyone wishing to try the Messina strait experience. It is beautiful in every season and at every hour, but the top of the top is to take the night train from Rome that arrives at Villa San Giovanni before sunrise, so you have a night view of the strait; then during the trip sunlight arrives, and you dock at Messina with the daylight, and it is another amazing spectacle!

      ​@@jordantyler3013Idk if the bridge is more expensive, but it costs tens of billions, it would require 1 span over 3km long, the longest ever built by mankind, in an earthquake and tsunami prone zone. Factor in that Rome and Northern Italy are reluctant cause the deep South is seen as a wasteland (despite its 7 mln inhabitants) and Sicilian mafia on one side and Calabrian 'ndrangheta on the other+ standard Italian corruption, and you have the reason. THE Bridge (for the Italians) hasn't been discussed for decades for nothing. Making passengers go on and off trains and ferries is quite the effort for them. It'd surprise you (if American) to discover how much night trains and trains are used in Italy. The ferries also provide (in the past much more given today's widespread EMUs usage) a way to exchange rolling stock to Sicily, 5th most populous region hosting Italy's 5th (Palermo) and 10th (Catania) cities by population.

    • @Hastdupech8509
      @Hastdupech8509 Рік тому

      It's been Italy's main debate, electoral promise AND dream (for some) for decades. The Strait's width would require solutions that have never been built before: a suspended bridge with a single span of 3 km would be the longest in the world, battling with strong winds and tectonic movement as it'd span between the Eurasian and African plate. Engineers ensure it wouldn't be a problem (thermodynamic dilation would be much more relevant, just to give you an idea) but the public opinion doesn't seem to get it. The tunnel isn't feasible because the strait is too deep (being a fault zone) and its currents too strong. Another considered option was an immersed tunnel, but if a longer suspended bridge that uses already tested structures is too much, why adopting a structure that's only theorical? Anyway, also the seismic risk is very high, with it possibly causing a tsunami like that of 1908, that obliterated Messina and Reggio Calabria (thousands years old cities, respectively in Sicily and Calabria). Human factors are the worst though. Mafia presence is high, as Sicily's home to Cosa Nostra and Calabria to 'Ndrangheta, the most powerful in the world rn I think. Furthermore, you have to sum it to the risk of corruption that's "physiological" to any public work in Italy. Politics argues over these themes, but there's also the North-South gap-related prejudice of some of thoss opposing it. They view the deep South as a distant wasteland where noone lives, irrelevant to the economy of the country (if not for brain drain towards the North), forgetting that Sicily has 5 mln inhabitants, with Palermo being the 5th and Catania the 10th Italian city, with both of their urban areas reaching 1 million residents. Also, a part of the Italian public opinion shares these prejudices and plus is very distrustful of any infrastructural work in Italy after Genoa's bridge collapse(s) and multiple all over the country. Plus, Sicily and Calabria have shitty roads, railways and infrsstructure in general, and because of this even locals are split equally between who favours the Bridge and who'd rather have them address pressing issues that have actually been going on since decades even.
