the iconic red telephone boxes may soon

be a thing of the past.

these days the mobile phone

rules supreme

The five big mobile service providers are Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, Orange and 3.

Vodafone, a British-based company, is the largest mobile phone service company in the

world, worth an estimated £75 billion.

On The Roads

In Britain the car is king.

While the road network is extensive and largely free, getting stuck in a traffic jam has become

part of British life.

Drink driving has become

a big social taboo

and the associated penalties are severe.

On And Off The Rails

trains remain overcrowded and expensive, although punctuality could be

worse

In 2008 the Department of Transport acknowledged that rail commuters in

Britain sometimes endure carriage conditions which EU law deems

unacceptable for sheep, goats, calves and chickens.

Up In The Air

Britain is well served by airports and flight routes, even while the international airports are somewhat

concentrated in the London area. Heathrow and Gatwick are major international hubs, with Heathrow the busiest

passenger airport in the world.

Over Ground, Underground

Most towns and cities in the UK have a bus network, and even the most rural of areas will have some form of bus

service, however infrequent and unreliable. Several towns and cities, including Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield,

Croydon and Blackpoll, have a tram system.

The London Underground, which opened to the public in 1863, is the oldest subway train system in the world.

Known by Londoners as the ‘Tube’, it has 268 stations and over 250 miles of track, less than half of which is actually

underground
