History of railways in Italy → History of rail transport in Italy – Proposed new name conforms with applicable naming convention for other articles in this series, eg History of rail transport in Austria, History of rail transport in Switzerland. Bahnfrend (talk) 16:05, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Per ngrams, the phrase rail transport is very rarely used. Railways is far, far more common. Despite that, this is the only article in the category that uses railway. Apteva (talk) 01:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The expression "rail transport" is used in English Wikipedia as a compromise between / substitute for "railroads", which is used in North America, and "railways", which is used in Commonwealth nations (except Canada) and Ireland, and has a different meaning in North America (where it means companies that operate railroads).

" ... the trains ran on time"

Do we have to allow Wikipedia to be used to push this old myth? I heard this was never really true, and indeed a number of sources ([1], [2], and [3], for starters) suggest this is at best greatly exaggerated and at worse Fascist propaganda that refuses to die. What are the sources for the existing, totally uncited text? Daniel Case (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

not bad for a state in which the transportation speed in the south is still comparable to that of the early 19th century (40km/h). Maybe you have exaggerate just a little (!). I recommend to modify the paragraph by including the fact that we are talking about the seventh global high-speed rail system. Alex64--31.198.75.25 (talk) 09:02, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
