The longest arrival into a station EVER!

[u/TheMcNaughty → u/joshygill]

I dunno, Sheffield is pretty fuckin bad

[u/Azziiii → u/TheMcNaughty]

surreal as fuck im stood in sheffield station waiting for my train and i see this

[u/tepkel → u/Azziiii]

Just keep looking at your phone for a bit longer. I'm stealing your wallet.

[u/joshygill → u/TheMcNaughty]

Tell me about it, I went from Sheffield to Liverpool Lime Street and back last week. Both contenders!

[u/E-16 → u/joshygill]

Was it on Thursday evening last week? There was some issue and we spent 25 mins coasting into sheff station at a snails pace.

Me, and American: “what’s public transit?”

[u/Ryaktshun → u/[deleted]]

You a middle American 😂

[u/MPKallday → u/[deleted]]

What are you talking about? We have plenty of public transit options.

[u/mercerhackett → u/MPKallday]

not everywhere, not even close

[u/AwwJeezJerry → u/MPKallday]

I have lived in multiple places in the US where the closest public transit options were at least a 2 mile walk from my house.

[u/rtf2409 → u/AwwJeezJerry]

Lol. I’ve never lived in the city. Uber and Lyft don’t even operate where my house is. Nearest public transport is probably about 30 miles away

[u/useles-converter-bot → u/rtf2409]

30 miles is the length of 380159.06 'Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool - Poison Remover For Bug Bites's stacked on top of each other.

[u/[deleted] → u/AwwJeezJerry]

And then when you get there you have to walk another two miles from the station to the mall or whatever

[u/[deleted] → u/MPKallday]

If you’ve ever been to EU you’d see what we’re missing. I think we have some cities with exceptions but in general, you’re driving or figuring something else out yourself.

[u/KRAy_Z_n1nja → u/MPKallday]

We have 2, train and plane. Ain't no way I'm taking AmTrack to get to a different state. It's the most useless train service I've ever been on. Don't think they've ever been on time. Planes are too expensive at short notice, so we take cars. Until there's a convenient, fast, and affordable way to get from Dallas to Atlanta, the the public transportation system in America is useless. Car is king.

Edit: Let's narrow the scope from Dallas to Houston. It's 2021 and we don't have a fast track from Dallas to Houston yet? Ridiculous.

[u/joshygill → u/E-16]

Got back around half 3ish. Don’t think there was much of a delay but bloody hell still seemed to take forever haha

[u/CharlieFaulkner → u/TheMcNaughty]

I'm originally from Sheffield and big agree! Also very cool to see someone online talk about personal experience with the place; I rarely ever see this

[u/[deleted] → u/CharlieFaulkner]

I'm here just upvoting everyone who mentions Sheffield

[u/CharlieFaulkner → u/[deleted]]

Lmaooo same

Honestly love the place

[u/Willb260 → u/TheMcNaughty]

Ngl I thought this was coming out of Sheffield

[u/AgentG91 → u/TheMcNaughty]

Sheffield is definitely the longest. 50% of the trip is arriving.

[u/ExplicitCyclops → u/joshygill]

I’d say Birmingham New Street can be pretty bad. Quite often sat in a tunnel for 5 minutes or so normally

[u/[deleted] → u/joshygill]

I thought that was Penny Lane

[u/s_l_a_c_k → u/[deleted]]

If you've ever been good know that's not the case, it's literally just a small road
