Ferry service
edit- To the best of my knowledge $50 does not include a cabin, but rather general accomodation. If that has changed, can you provide a reference?
- "Mainly" between PoS and Scarborough? What other ferry service is there?
- International flights to Crown Point are not only to London. Guettarda 20:10, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ferry schedules and fares seem to be available online now: http://www.patnt.com/ferry_schedule.shtml 155.56.68.221 (talk) 13:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Key stats from the Guardian on the new light rail.
editThe Guardian has some nice key-statistics which I think in the future would make for a good addition to any article on the new "light-rail" / "rapid-rail" system being planned in Trinidad. I think the contract is to be awarded in January if my memory serves me correctly.
This is a time-sensitive link. [1] [2]
- $6.8 billion project
- "In this year’s budget Prime Minister Patrick Manning said the rapid rail would serve more than two-thirds of the population and be in full service by 2011."
- the rapid rail will cover 72 miles at a cost of US$15 million a mile.
Water Taxi Service
editArticle says that the service should be in operation by mid 2008. Anyone know what the story is now? Tagged as {{out of date}}. -- Zappa26 (talk) 09:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Rapid rail project axed?
editAccording to this source, the new People's Partnership government announced the rapid rail project as being "officially axed" on 8 September 2010. However, apart from this terse statement I have been unable to find any substantial coverage of the matter on Trinidad and Tobago news sites. I gather, though, that this decision apparently was pretty much in line with the general PP position on the issue.

I was about to nominate this page for deletion because of how generally bad it is but since it seems to be in WikiProject and all that I decided to just post it here. The entire page has a total of 4 sources, all of which are referenced in 1 sentence which is concerning railways that were never built. Some of the other information on the page is not even correct. There are no references for the statistics either. Mosaicberry (talk • contribs) 19:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
Narrow gauge cane trains
editThe Woodford Lodge sugar factory was located on the state railway and had its own Decauville network. The St. Madeleine sugar factory also has a dense network of Decauville tracks, so that no plot of cane was more than five miles from a sugar factory.[1][2] NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:55, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
