I often mentioned to people that Trinidad would've been better off under foreign governance. Clearly locals are corrupted and do not have the intelligence required for governance. This goes for ALL political parties!!
@@timmaz24s An excuse we hear for every service in trinidad. Inefficiency and corruption will always defeat us in Trinidad. Just ask caroni and petrotrin
I used too love thee train. I had two uncles who worked for the Trains. My father also worked when every thing stopped he had to go too the BUS COMPANY. I think it was LEYLAND. The buses were great We travelled free too school as my father worked for the bus company. The good old days
The business men that advised the gov't of the day to end the railway system, sold cars maxi taxis for over 40 years. Now the business men went a rapid rail...😂
Except that they enslaved hundreds of thousands of people raped and killed children and stole resources from many countries for their benefit. If Trinidad were still under the British we would have gotten nowhere. People always forget what the British did to us caribbean people. I'm not attacking you specifically but I'm just generally saying just my opinion.
Accept the fact that the enslaved hundreds of thousands of people store all of our resources And caused generations of racism that we still deal with today. But besides that they were great!!!
Remember the train 🚆 .when I was younger in the 60 ' until they Close it down. By the. Time i started to travel. Before the family relocated 😮 But you know..what . now..will not be safe .time. For having a train . This place has turned up side.. And the ppl ar crazy With their robbin and disrespect to others... Plus some sad 😔 to say 😢
Please continue to do historical pieces. Fascinating to see life in the past.
Imagine a bus system replaced a functioning train system!

Only fools will say that they should of kept the railway ,maybe they were making the parts to maintain what the British walkway from .

Guardian should do more history news pieces so the youth can appreciate it. I wonder what ever happened to the actual trains themselves?
Wow and I passed there this morning after a party on the Avenue I greeted City Gate for the 100th birthday when nobody was there
Wow this was memorable information
Defiently should be listed as a National heritage site
Imagine going back in that time with the buses we have now
Still could never believe we had trains and then disbanded them
We should of never stopped the trains, but upgraded the system over the years, the bus service is terrible.
The Trains were efficent. The Ptsc buses are inefficent, and do not work.
Those trains never worked well. The natives were too lazy to maintain the tracks upon which the massive junk of steel were asked to roll
The business men that advised the gov't of the day to end the railway system, sold cars maxi taxis for over 40 years.

1968 ……Why PNM?
Man, the British were the best

Europeans are very structured and organized.
