Talk:Crew car

Is there a worldwide view of this subject?

I have removed the Globalize notice ("The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with Australia and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject..."). Reasons:

• It was placed 10 years ago and nobody has yet expanded the context.
• I suspect that's because the use of crew cars for relaying crews is very rare, because they are only needed when crews work for >1 day and no alternatives such as hotels and crew barracks are available.
• In Australia, for example, all but ~300 km (~200 mi) of the 2,975 kilometres (1,849 mi) Adelaide–Darwin rail corridor is in almost unpopulated country (see population map of southern half here) on which sheep stations cover millions of acres. The cost of maintaining special barracks in places of complete isolation far outweighs that of crew cars. However, in remote areas of other countries, some small population centres usually exist along railway lines because of economic opportunities presented by the railway.

Conclusion: it's unlikely a worldwide view will eventuate.  – SCHolar44 (talk) 03:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
