I tell you what, I'd like to take a bet......
Despite the debt crisis and coming inflation, I'll bet that our stupid government (of whatever flavour) still goes ahead and buys the Trident update, £76 Billion + for rockets that we can never fire 'cos if we did that would be the last thing that we did.
On the other hand, the Germans for a fraction of that price are introducing a new fleet of ICE trains, double decked, air conditioned, and with family rooms on the upper deck for those with children! If my memory serves me right I think they are buying 38 complete 9 car trains.
A visit to the DB website may give more information if it's still up on the site.
