I thought it would make our insides go a bit wibbly, but it was an amazingly smooth ride.

That was, until we met it's sister coming the other way! I think I may have actually jumped out of my skin for a nanosecond - I had the window seat and the 'crack' made by the air pressure between the two trains was deafening.

I'd quite like to have seen it in action, as well as ridden on it, though - but I spose I' d have blinked and missed it. It runs alongside the motortway for a bit of the journey, which must be cool/depressing if you're in a car.

Cos we still work on a nuts and bolts system which is fundamentally based on the width of 2 horses ****'s.
