FWIW I offered to pay for her lounge access but she said it wasn’t worth it. Done my duty

Is that one of those fancy bits you have to pay for?

It’s free with a business class ticket, or you can pay to go in. Everything inside is free, though some lounges are better than others, and the best with the best food are restricted to first class pax only.
Some folk buy a Priority Pass annual membership that allows you to use many business lounges across the world regardless of what ticket you have, but I think you need to be a fairly frequent flyer to get it to become good value for money.

I remember being livid when I first saw what business class was.
I actually naively thought it was set up so people could work during the flight, not so that people who thought they were important could be pampered.

For European flights the difference in price can sometimes be small. Much more so if you happen to need to carry lots of luggage, as business lets you carry 64 kg vs zilch in basic economy- the cost of adding two suitcases to an economy fare can sometimes be only slightly cheaper than flying business, never mind all the other perks like free food and booze, fast track and whatnot.I remember being livid when I first saw what business class was.

The latter. We bought back shit loads of cheese and other food for Xmas.

The money she's saved she probably reckons she can spend doing something better than waiting in a bland airport lounge with free coffee and ugly chairs. The fool!

I guess the look of a train carriage corridor is not the main concern in the grand scheme of things, but I reckon there are plenty of corridors in the solitary wings of countless prisons that look more uplifting than that…

It’s a cool idea and seems to work.

It’s a power car, well generator set. They stick it in the middle of an electric train so you can run it on un-electrified tracks.

what the heck is it?
i haven't taken a great deal of notice of new trains since about the late 80s so this looks like a concept that may have passed me by...
hmm.
would a dual mode hastings diesel have been possible?

This almost feels like a smart quiz game on Radio 4. Arundel?
