| So a Eurostar train has beaten the old mark to claim the title of fastest train in Britain by a whopping 45 mph on the new high speed rail link. More accurately, I think, is the link to the Watch and Listen section which is captioned "UK speeds have easily been surpassed elsewhere." Remarkable what we get excited about, especially as although the first section will be open by October, the second part of the link won't be completed until 2007, and because we have to share it with Europe. Now, if we had a 200+ mph train from the South West to London, I'd be interested. |
