Why do you think they mention the "AGE" -by the time it gets to the destination it's an OAP.

I think it might be 'kinda' cool to hear “the 4:15 to Paddington has been delayed due to a bird strike”

It looks like the sort of thing we were promised when I was growing up.

Ive crawled all the way through that! It was open to enthusiasts a while back and we got guided tour anround and through it , I dont think it will ever move again under its own power though its in a bit of a state now!

The Prototypes of this were Gas Turbine powered too , however the production units were Diesel.
