      I often mentioned to people that Trinidad would've been better off under foreign governance. Clearly locals are corrupted and do not have the intelligence required for governance. This goes for ALL political parties!!

      A functional train system that was getting expensive to run bcuz all parts was coming from UK.

    I used too love thee train. I had two uncles who worked for the Trains. My father also worked when every thing stopped he had to go too the BUS COMPANY. I think it was LEYLAND. The buses were great
    We travelled free too school as my father worked for the bus company. The good old days

    Guardian should do more history news pieces so the youth can appreciate it. I wonder what ever happened to the actual trains themselves?

      Those trains never worked well. The natives were too lazy to maintain the tracks upon which the massive junk of steel were asked to roll

      Except that they enslaved hundreds of thousands of people raped and killed children and stole resources from many countries for their benefit. If Trinidad were still under the British we would have gotten nowhere. People always forget what the British did to us caribbean people. I'm not attacking you specifically but I'm just generally saying just my opinion.

    • @iantrini

      Accept the fact that the enslaved hundreds of thousands of people store all of our resources And caused generations of racism that we still deal with today. But besides that they were great!!!
