On Rail transport I watched a program by Chris Tarrent on the bullet trains in Japan, brilliant. Here's a country that was wiped out in the war; and yet has the best and fastest train service in the world, it took Australia donkeys years to build a railway [the Ghan] from Adelaide to Darwin.
From what I have seen on TV Britain has recovered many of her old train services.
Back to the original theme, I emigrated to NZ on the Southern Cross in 57, and I agree with Alaric2 the accommodation was pathetic even for those days, I had better on British tankers they would have had to completely gut her and change the lot.
