But if trains had been subject to the
same development that cars have, we'd have driverless 200mph jobs
every 20 minutes. Not scruffy oiks blowing whistles and waving flags.

Railways have been develping at the same rate as road vehicles so technically at least, there's no reason we can't have those things. If you look to other countries they have 200mph trains (some even faster IIRC) with all sorts of technical gadgets and gizmos.

Spanish Talgo pendular have been running since the early sixties including copeing with a gague change at the French border, we were still building steam engines then.
