@controlc @collectifission Meanwhile in Halifax, sorry everyone no ferries today, one guy called in sick and there are no other ferry captains.
@javensbukan @controlc @collectifission My father was a ferry Captain for most of my life. There's a huge need for ship engineers as well right now since so few people are interested in taking the job, let alone getting the education for it.

What happens if a tree has fallen across the track?
@Susan60 @collectifission it is not on the track long ;). (Also, this is the prairies, trees?)
But mostly the first answer…

Each day German rail carries about the same number of passengers Canadian rail does in a year though
And with a better punctuality. -

And with a better punctuality. @Pepijn "And with a better punctuality. "
Knowing the sad state of the German train system and their many delays, that feels harsh.

It's underfunded and should improve. And people love to shit at it. But just like the Dutch system it's still a functional (there's almost always a quick next train if you miss a connection) and extremely dense* system if you just want to use it.
*going to the size of towns that in countries like France, Denmark and Italy one would have to take a bus or rental car to.

Anyway. Just to stay within the theme: it's not always great

Canadian trains: TOOT TOOT@collectifission Norwegian trains are in both categories there.
It is a bit of a difference between the trains that do the mountain crossing, and the ones that operate local traffic in the Oslo area.
This week is going to be so much fun. We have had -20c. Now, we are going to get a week with LOADS of snow. Then it will be +1c. If it drops below freezing again, that is a lot of fun for the track switch points.
Another issue is that we apparently don't have enough "melding stations" for trains to get rid of the compacted snow under them.
Snow and low temps have not been much issue, this "really fun" warmer winters with temps going up and down around the freezing point is a nightmare

@lettosprey Yeah, it's the "0º winter" that is causing most problems as I understand. It's 6º now here in the Netherlands, so trains are driving again, for now
