Maybe this was true in the past, but I don't see it in Britain today. Look at Oxford - shite rail connections but served very well by road now, and it's in pretty good economic shape. In fact, the Oxford Tube coach service dos most of what a commuter rail system would do at hugely lower cost.
There's plenty. IIRC, the 8 bit words are coded into 14bits to allow for the RSC, and this coding allows both the non-return to zero and also gives the stream an implicit timecode.
The audio data is NOT compressed. The EFM coding is designed to tackle some of the deficiencies of optical storage, and the CIRSC to tackle read errors.
Yeah, that makes sense because music isn't recorded digitally in the studio. It's actually recorded using some kind of crappy analogue magic technology that introduces harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion and tons of noise. Coz that's better, isn't it?
Thatcher isn't to blame for the basic economics of railway systems. Compared to using personal cars/trucks on a publicly funded road network, rail never stands a chance.
The privatisation of BR was, nonetheless scandalously bad value for the previous owners (ie, US).
The grandparent is right. GPS tracking for rolling stock is easy, cheap and should be highly effective, it has ZERO bearing on any other engineering issues that "British Rail" (which, incidentally, hasn't existed for years) might have.

We have wireless telephones in the 21st century.
183cm is a little less than two metres.
And it's not the 'English' system, it's called the IMPERIAL SYSTEM.
The Chinese eat stuff that'd make a dog retch. Haggis is pretty tame by comparison. And pretty delicious too.
You mean he should be forcing the basement into the home cinema?
I'm a Visa man you filthy pig!
What is "Matercard" anyway, your mother's credit card?
Do you constantly retread the MC ads because you work for them or are you merely a corporate tool?
Whoever pays the politicians more, I suppose.
Not all of 'em.

Writing an infinite amount of something is impossible, though a short loop of tape would take it if you didn't need to read back.

You've never heard of SuperAudio CD either?

I like a nice troll as much as the next man, but that wasn't one. I think the moderators of this story need a bit of a sit down.

They could EASILY prevent this by simply imposing a limit - say 50 tracks per day, 500 per week or something - who would object to that?

Seeing as there's no such thing as a "British Rail employee", I'd say it's more than possible.
I have seen 'drivers' on DLR trains MANY times.

I'm on a Mac browsing with Safari and it's pissing me off too.
Because the Spanish syntax and vocab may not allow you to do so.
The X-Box looks like a heatsink that fell off the back of something cheap.
And buying one involves giving money to MS, which I have never done and intend never to do.
