But no, Leo Express and Regiojet       don't get any discounts (why the hell should they, they're competitors       of the owner of the tracks) and if some random Martin Novák registered a       railway company Nováktrans, bought some 854 series diesel motorcars and       started a passenger service, he'd pay the same price.       --        Piotr Waszkielewicz        piotrwasz (ma³pa) o2 (kropka) pl       ====> http://psoras.wordpress.com <====       Quidqiud latine dictum sur, altum videtur.              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
