I don't think I remember anything from when I was 3. Plus 3 year olds have about the same mental capacity as a pigeon, so I doubt would be able to work out the comparative advantages and disadvantages of certain trains (or care for that matter...)

Now if we start talking about split-headcode box 40s with no heating systems hauling load 9 to Inverness in the deep midwinter then we might be on to something.

On the 2021 Lurgan-Bangor service (started at Portadown), going to go as far as Bangor. NIR 4000 class. Free unlimited wifi, neat, maybe there are some advantages to state ownership still...

Now on the La Plata - Constitucion line again, later on to take line C from Buenos Aires "Subte". I hope to see the electrification works that I heard that started on the branch. As the line's standard, it'll be a 25kV AC overhead. Later I'll talk about the other electrification systems and gauges used in Argentina.

Sat on the 1H38 from Stourbridge Junction to either Snow Hill or Leamington Spa being propelled by 67014, nice train to be honest, almost like being in First Class.
