If there’s one thing that could lure passengers to trains, it’s likely the tantalising possibility of drastically reduced travel times between major European cities at zero emissions.Ĭompanies like Nevomo in Poland and Zeleros in Spain are working towards making this a reality by developing respectively a hi-tech maglev rail system and a scalable Hyperloop system.
The railway series Bluetooth#
Gordon is pulling the Express when he bursts his safety valve outside Henry's tunnel. Eventually, they have him bricked up, and they bore a new tunnel. His crew, the passengers, another engine and even the Fat Director try to get him to move, but to no avail. One rainy day, Henry stops in a tunnel and refuses to move. At the top of the hill, Gordon races ahead and Edward gets puffed out, but is pleased at the prospect of a new coat of paint. Gordon deliberately stalls at a hill and Edward comes as a "banker". Gordon is bragging about pulling the Express, but when Edward is shunting Gordon comes past with a long train of coal trucks.
Edward goes to get some coaches, and (after a few moments of panic waiting for the guard) they start off and Edward has an enjoyable day.
The railway series driver#
The big engines are teasing Edward that he won't be allowed out because he is too weak, but when the driver sees him upset he offers to take him out.
