GCT was dark and eerie before it was cleaned up in the 1990s. It's overdue for another such cleaning; the ceiling looks better in blue than in dirty green. Nobody questions the "need" for such a station, even though all of the long-distance service is gone from there and it's solely for commuter trains now.And why did long-distance trains "go away"? Draconian regulation and taxation that made it too expensive for private companies to run them, plus the selfsame regulations that made it too expensive to develop high-speed rail—even though there were several attempts to do so. |
