How British Rail gave us the USA’s newest high speed train | #Railnatter 277

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

Following a wee hiatus from host knackeredness syndrome, we're back! And we're returning to our roots by talking all about British Rail's Advanced Passenger Train, and the corporate nonsense that took APT's tilting technology via about a dozen legal entities to slap it straight into the replacement Acela fleet this year! We also answer the question: was the Pendolino just the APT sold back to us? Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis. Merch at https://merch.railnatter.uk.
