Something stange appears at St Pancras - I think some people call it progress

A fellow reader sent this picture into us last week, titled '(N)ICE train' - I see what he did there.

Now I don't want to wade into the debate on Eurotunnel's safety regulations - they're as long and as tedious as as they hard to ignore. This is an important step in Britains railways and something that didn't grab the headlines as perhaps it should of done.

The ICE's arrival into St Pancras was the world's worst keep secret. It's actual arrival saw a new dawn in Britain's rail travel. And it's been a long time coming.

Just like HS1 was 20 years behind it's time, inter European rail travel to more destinations than Paris or Brussel is something the Europeans have been enjoying for many a year. But as we've had time we hope we'll get it right.

We can only hope DB & Eurotunnel reach an agreement over safety, we're sure of it's success,

We will owe a huge thank you to DBs persistance on this, and it'll open Germany up to this country like never before.

Hienz Doken Deken Dien!
