“The Mercury features an extended nose section that is vital to the aerodynamics of the train, allowing it to attain speeds of 225 mph. The train also includes a very inviting, bright and comfortable interior. The top deck has windows that curve up onto the roof allowing for views of the landscape as the train races down the tracks. The 400 meter-long train also includes some private berths for families or private parties that include bars, work areas, and couches. Even a child’s play area will be integrated into the train, along with a luxurious first class section for those who want to travel in style.”

And when will this train service start? Never, it’s a press release!

The big difference with Concorde, the Spitfire, Rolls Royce and the Routemaster bus is that they never had a press release but they really did exist!

This I’d not foreseen…

“Why would I get any of my clients to talk to the Times or the Sunday Times if they are behind a paywall? Who can see it? I can’t even share a link and they aren’t on search. It’s as though their writers don’t exist anymore..”

Winds howl over the deserted moonscape behind Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper paywalls – Boing Boing.

Does this mean that the writers need to be paid more to write for a non-public site. It probably does, but I’m not sure that the writers at The Times would understand the economics of it!!!
