Re: Yes, trains.

At least the UK is not too embarrasing still, we may not have the super fast lines, but still have an extensive 125mph network.

The Shinkansen network along with the TGV network are world class high speed rail.

Our lines are basically at capacity.

Deltics, they made the hairs on the back of your neck raise. You do not get it until you stand near one and can simply feel the raw power.

I still remember my first time seeing one close up about 40 years ago.

I do have a soft spot for 50s as well. There was something about English Electric locomotives.
