Use of Jet Trains in the UK
As part of a high speed railway idea from the government, there has been an idea that perhaps Jet Trains will come to Britain and be used on runs such as Edinburgh to London and could reduce journey times by around 2 hours.
Im guessing that they will look similar to the Bombardier Jet Trains in the USA and Canada and they look pretty cool. I wouldnt mind them coming to the UK.
Personally however I think that since we already have electrified lines along the Edinburgh to London route it would be better to run electiried trains along this route. I don't know how energy efficient the jet trains are, but it could be better to run electic trains. This might be a good idea if they were used on non-electrified routes.
What does everyone think of this idea, and for those who have travelled on a Jet Train, what are they like?
