I'm no train lover.. but that is an impressive show of engineering :)

(Technically I think it's re-laying it's own track, though ;))

But still doesnt justify the fares going up by 10 % on some routes.... and some of the silly sods still wont get a seat  ;)

I can never understand that.... :-/ you book a seat and find someone sitting in it, last time it happened to me the train was packed, dangerously in my opinion, but the person moved when challenged.... :y  I heard others refusing, the response being go and get the conductor, who could not be found.........why use the train, with a family it is cheaper and more comfortable to travel in a Mig.... :) :)

Wow, when I was a kid at school, doodling instead of listening to the teacher, thats just the kind of heath robinson machine I was sketching - fantastic.

Couldnt agree more but if I go to football I prefer to use the train as it means I can have a few beers before hand and even more on the return trip after watching my shower of  ***t get humped again ;) ::) :)
