    Glasgow Subway new stock

    29 new trains for Transpennine Express ?

    If possible that's what I would go for on a regional express version of a class 397

    I forgot that Talgos passively tilt. That could make things "interesting" with that layout!

    Will be the first time a mkiiii having passengers riding on the roof I'd imagine!

    HSTs to Nigeria

    Just seen on Facebook. Speechless. Someone commented looks like a stripclub on wheels

    I got lucky on my last visit. An old one pulled in on one circle, then a new one on the other!
