I think it came and went, but a seccond coming is just what the world needs right now. Rail travel makes sense on so many levels when it works right.

A lot more people would use the trains if "they" put the fares down instead of up!

I am for it being a new "Age of the Train", so long as we dont have Jimmy Saville doing the adverts again.

I seedm to remember that last time round "The age of the train" slogan was dropped when people began to think it referred to the antiquity of the trains.

I remember that. As in 'It's the age of the train that's the problem'. :(
