Yes. One of the narrower gauge lines. Spain being what it is, we have both standard gauge trains as the one seen here, and a wider gauge type operating on some of the other lines of the Madrid Metro network, because why the fuck not

It was the Paris metro that "wtf'd" me. Run on tyres, with door handles that looked "less than secure".Yes. One of the narrower gauge lines.

That’s quite the intense travelling you’ve been doing in the US in the last few days. Are you trying to recreate Planes, Trains and Automobiles by any chance?

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Ha! Am in Orlando now...That’s quite the intense travelling you’ve been doing in the US in the last few days. Are you trying to recreate Planes, Trains and Automobiles by any chance?
Have a work conference here Sunday-Tuesday. No point coming to the US for 3 days and I'm not a big Florida fan so did some meetings in NYC and DC (where I've also got a couple of sets of friends from university).
The train is the obvious way to get from NYC to DC (city centre to city centre) but was 50 mins late for a 3 hour journey.

Is the NY-DC route the one where they have high speed trainsets but there’s only a short stretch of line where they can run to 140 mph or so, the rest remaining a bog standard speed track?

Reaction to earlier massive signal problems approaching Victoria. People would pay for that !

Thee 1892 signal box at St Albans with some traditional decorations - we had an open afternoon , and the sheeting weather brought 8 visitors ! (second worst figures in our preservation history)

It might sound wanky, and of course it’s made out to sound far better than it is going to be, but some lounges are better than others, and much of it is partly due to the decor and views available. Some of them in the UK now have individual ‘pod’ sears in addition to the usual armchairs in the more public areas of the lounge, which are superb for privacy/ relaxation. And who doesn’t like to have an uninterrupted view of the apron and runways?

I’ve only been to one US airport business lounge so not enough to generalise about the average quality of lounges across the country, but the one I went to was indescribably shit- a windowless cantina with formica tables and plastic chairs that happened to offer free finger food and booze.
I could be wrong but I seem to remember Bahnhof Strasse , who has visited a fair few of them, also remarking they are pretty poor on the whole.
