The elite simply didn't want to travel with nor encounter working class
people. It's that simple. Coach travel, though, was probably more
profitable for the railroad, given minimal accomodations and more seats
sold.

Absolutely.

I'm not pretending to have any expertise in historical Italian passenger
rail travel. But if it were an overnight journey, even second class
passengers would have wanted the option of a place to sleep, in smaller
accomodations than first class. And third class passengers would have
had the option of a sleeping berth.

Given the short train we saw, it would have worked better if it were
just a daytime regional train with no bedrooms at all.

Fogg forced the train to stop in the middle of nowhere. Cuts and adds
would take place at major terminals or important junctions, if a section
of the train took another route somewhere else. A baggage car would have
to be part of the train from end to end. I agree that not all coaches
might make the entire journey.

You had me fooled ;-) In that case, you are offering only reasonable
theories, just as I was - reasonable theories that might be proven wrong
by asking people more knowledgeable in these matters than either of us.

I'm not so sure of that. The railroad might well prefer to incentivize
people to buy more expensive 1st or 2nd class tickets by providing no
sleeping accommodation whatever - beyond trying to sleep sitting up - to
those who bought the cheapest tickets.

For this particular episode, sure, that would seem to make sense.

Again, I have not seen the show so I didn't know that. I agree that cars
wouldn't be added or removed in the middle of nowhere, although I
suppose something like that COULD be done at a siding miles from a
station, although I'm at a loss to see why that would be done in this case.

My friends in Sandy Eggo have finished watching season one. Here are some
notes they sent. No real spoilers. It does address one of the reasons Adam
was going to quit watching.

“ Last night we finished up the 8-episodes of the _80 Days_ with Tenet.
Aside from character names and some of the locales, the three things from
the book used in the show are:

* There was a wager placed in the Reform Club of London
* The train across India reported in the newspapers wasn't really done
* They arrive in London, are delayed, and think they have failed to win but
realize it is still Christmas Eve minutes before the deadline

Otherwise it is a romp through the world of 1872 with a number of
anachronisms. There are many preachy messages throughout.”

“There are references to other Verne stories.

The Italian boy mentions reading _From the Earth to the Moon_.

At the end the trio is reading the newspapers with reports of a sea monster
and some of the theories.

I think Dennis K. has indicated that the next season would be based on
_Journey to the Center of the Earth_.

It was closer to the Verne stories than the recent _Journey_ films with
Dwayne Johnson and another lead. But still it is highly divergent from the
book as expected from the trailer and opening sequence.”

Yep, season 2 has been 'greenlit', although nobody knows (including
probably the show's creators) where they're going to take the story.
There are various rumours, including that one with Captain Nemo and
creating a "Jules Verne universe" of shows, which all sound like
ridiculous and ill-fitting cash-in ideas. :-(

We already had THE SECRET ADVENTURES OF JULES VERNE. I wish somebody would
put out a decent quality DVD set of that.

.. . . with episodes in a random order! A lot of that was entertaining, I
thought. None of the lead characters felt sorry for themselves.

Who would ever expect Bobby Ewing as Dracula? Much less Jules Verne meeting
Dracula!

I found a webstore selling DVDs for the series ... but it's based in
Pakistan, so they certainly won't be "decent quality" if you get
anything delivered at all.

Yeah. Crummy copies abound. And they’re all up in YouTube and multi parts
per episode in the wrong aspect ratio.

HEY ADAM

The thread about the show on the Facebook yielded somebody looking at the
PBS site for related material and found that at some point they did a show
on Nellie Bly which it looks like you can buy if you possibly cared that
much. :-)

It's a CBC series from 2000, and it also ran on what was then the
Sci-Fi Channel.
