  We do have trains in the US, they’re just awful in most places.

    England doesn’t have high school, here it’s secondary school and sixth form

      I went to a high school in England. We had first (1-4) middle (5-8) high school (9-11).

        I also had this format but apparently it’s not usual. I’m guessing by your username you’re Scottish, or at least Northern

  American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones…

    Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back

      Ahh I see, I guess it doesn’t rule out the tweeter being American then

        Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)

  I live in three different cities and in those cities, people use train, subway, and trolley interchangeably.

  We haven’t been known for trains in a while, but America

    I guess he could have meant subway by train

      We already have light rail and even heavy rail commuter trains in many places.

      • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        Yeah Seattle loves their light rail. Way more cities in America have commuter rail than you’d think
