fares (VGN)+DB

While DB trains, IME, are generally roomier than trains in the UK, I've yet to encounter a problem worth mentioning in my train travels up there. Dirty? UK trains haven't struck me as necessarily less clean than DB ones, except maybe the blitz-sauber ICE's. I only travel by public transit in the UK (with the odd taxi here and there), and while we have better ticket automats here --at which bus tickets are usually available-- I think it's unfair to criticise UK public transit across the board. But then I've only gone around as a tourist; I haven't had to rely on it for daily living. And don't forget the air conditioning in some ICE's failing when the temperature exceeds 32°, resulting in 50°+ internal temperatures! (A bit ironic to me, since the people here are so crazily anti-air-conditioning...fear of catching pneumonia and arthritis in summer and what not.)
