I went to Nuneaton train station at dinnertime with my son to wave at it as it went past - we got a toot from the driver! Euston to Manchester in less than two hours is pretty good! It's a shame that what was British cutting edge technology (APT in 1980s) was developed by the Italians.

Waving to trains. So much of my childhood seemed to be spent waving to trains as my Dad was keen on steam engines. Later I too waved each morning, on my way to the bus stop, to the driver of a goods train loaded with Bubble Cars.... Now I'm showing my age. What did you think of it John?
