Cheers, I've bben on that line didn't remember that bit!

Where is the tunnel in the title sequence. Was a Scotrail train crossing a bridge into a sort of rock tunnel?

Whilst I don't disagree in principle with HS2 there are a number of issue that concern me: -First and foremost is the time scale. By the time the line is up and running will High speed rail still be the most effective technology available, or will new systems have been developed. (for example...
