Worldwide info

I’ve added some worldwide inter-city rail information. Mostly from the Man in Seat 61 site, but also from some of the railway company sites on Wikipedia. The article is far from complete, but it does now cover all continents (except Antarctica, but I don’t think they have any inter-city rail links there!) So should we remove the “limited worldwide view” tag? Fionah 07:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. -- Picapica 11:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious statement

"Inter-city rail services are express passenger train services that cover longer distances than commuter or regional trains."

Says who ? It is not implied by the plain english meaning of the words, nor by any phrase-defining potentate. In Australia, it's precisely the opposite. NSW Trains "Intercity" services go to places typically 100 km from the capital ( Gosford, Wollongong, Newcastle ), and it's "Regional" services go to places typically 400 km from the capital ( Grafton, Tamworth, Dubbo ). What's more, it is the "Intercity" services which mainly serve a commuter market, not a market distinct from commuters. And I'm sure they didn't make up this confusing, back-to-front, terminology themselves, it all comes from english management.Tallewang (talk) 19:45, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If that is true, then the word is being used very differently in Australia from its meaning in Germany, Britain, Belgium, etc. -- Alarics (talk) 09:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inter-city in Europe and North America has the same meaning for a longer distance. If Australia is an exception that has a different meaning, you should include the term for Australia in the article with inline citations of reliable sources. Z22 (talk) 13:15, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
