In Brecon.

The desire for more trolleybus action has been noted. I'm in the industrial belt of northern CzechRep beginning of November.

On Germany's fastest regional trains. A totally weird service related to the Stuttgart 21 project. Imagine going from Exeter to Yeovil (other local UK comparisons are available) at 140mph with one stop. Trains are half-empty most of the time too.

Sort of. Ulm isn't London.

Stuttgart is a big city (and international hub).

In each case, there's a high speed line that's part of a long distance route passing through a major city, and part of the high speed line is used for regional services. It's not all that weird. There are also a lot of regional services elsewhere in the UK that operate at relatively high speeds, up to 110mph and so on. It simply makes sense where they are sharing a line with other services so that they don't hold things up.
