I think it came and went, but a seccond coming is just what the world needs right now. Rail travel makes sense on so many levels when it works right.

A lot more people would use the trains if "they" put the fares down instead of up!

I am for it being a new "Age of the Train", so long as we dont have Jimmy Saville doing the adverts again.

Dear Jim'll....

Could you fix it for me to do more television adverts for National Rail promoting rail services,

Yours,

I seedm to remember that last time round "The age of the train" slogan was dropped when people began to think it referred to the antiquity of the trains.

I remember that. As in 'It's the age of the train that's the problem'.
