Bozza posted:In terms of mixed traffic operations, people come to us to see how it's done Is this really true though? Because the same is said about Dutch rail all the time. Speaking of, I think I asked this before but I don't know if I got an answer (plus I forgot if I did) but a couple years back there was talk of sending my dad (knooppuntcontroller, literal translation: junction controller, basically he gets paid to do nothing if everything goes well, but as soon as poo poo hits the fan he needs to get the right materiel and people in the right place to sort poo poo out and keep to the schedule as much as possible) to the UK due to some cooperation project and Dutch rail was going to (possibly?) start operations in England. As far as I know Dutch rail is currently active in Poland under the Nedkoleje name and Germany, and the Czech Republic as well as England under the name Abellio Rail. Do you know anything about them and could you talk about them? Anything at all would be appreciated cus I'm genearlly interested in what Dutch rail is up to. Also, who controls the stations in the UK? Again for Dutch rail, in recent years building a lot of office complexes above or closely around stations on land owned by Dutch rail has been one of their most succesful activities. Is anything similar happening in the UK?
