This is just my opinion but I think the folks who were in favor of a Rail Forum needed to better layout a workable format that could encompass all forms of rail travel, on an international basis, in a single forum.
In fact, railroadtycoon laid out some serious arguments against such a forum in a couple of his earlier posts.
We know some folks were going to be unhappy about this decision but channel that sentiment into putting together a workable plan.
Thanks.
Thank you
I would be happy to help and support any such ideas.
Although I was unable to agree with a worldwide rail forum, as described in the initial posts, I heartily agree that the question of new homes for rail queries needs to be given more thought.
Unfortunately, what was proposed, although offering a solution to some FT forum users, would have created a real nuisance for others.
I hope we can find ways to solve this so that nobody is inconvenienced by the changes and everyone can benefit.

Sorry jenbel and ajamieson – we lobbied hard for a Japan forum as it was tricky to keep track on all the queries about this country – to have ‘our’ forum split again so soon after getting it (rail queries make up a huge percentage of the posts about Japan) was too much to bear.
