    Yeah, neglected would be the better word. I think the software in some trains is actually from 93-94. During this time period of increased demand they just let it run with bare minimum maintenance.

      Software? You mean the 100 years old manual switches? That’s the actual reality of the rail network. The trains aren’t the problem.

      Train software doesn’t mean anything though? It doesn’t matter if it uses Windows 95 or even older. It needs to work reliably, all required software needs to run on it and that’s it. It’s like complaining your plane doesn’t run on Windows 11
