Loved the comment on youtube:

All they need now is a flux capacitor and a bolt of lightning. Time travel sorted.

But only if the lightning delivers 1.21 Jigawatts.

It will do if that thing comes off the track. It is WAY too fast, & if summat went wrong, there would be carnage. a 1,000 tonne projectile travelling out of control at 350 mph takes some stopping.

Such a cool train. 

I watched a TV show once on one of the SKY channels.  It was about possible transportation of the future, they gave the example that in the future a person may be able to live in London or Glasgow, etc and work in New York, Tokyo, Beijing,........  .   They showed pods similar to small cable cars and said that one day it may be possible to travel at such a speed that travel between these places would be common place on a daily basis.  I would love to be around then to see that happening.  Trains such as this are probably the first steps to making something like this a reality. 


Tikay,  what do you like more, modern trains or old traditional steam trains ?

Traditional steam locomotives, obviously.

They are not "steam trains", by the way. The "steam" part is the locomotove, or engine, "train" is the collective term for the locomtive & carriages, or rolling stock.
