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 ;))

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.... :) :)

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 ;) ::) :)

That is truly,truly stunning.

The early railway engineers would just have been gobsmacked by that technology. :y :y
