On the railways, I've seen so many people interested in the trains and not the travellers - they're often known as the "Gricer"s and "Anorak"s - and I've attended many meetings / seen many pictures they've taken and read many discussions. But the modern day railway is there very much for the passenger, and I was delighted to travel in busy trains yesterday (I don't really mind what class of unit, but f.y.i 3 x HST and 1 x TPE 158) that ran virtually to time.

Actually, passengers make for some lovely pictures just like the trains do!
