>(Example of worse: Having the Acela TGV in the US. >You get the world's best train technology and you turn it into an expensive >commuter train >that breaks down most of the time!) I used to work for Snowdon Mountain Railway. The company that made their disastrous Mountain Railcar unit went bust, many of the employees now produce sprinter type trains made (I think) by a company called Alstom. Some of their new trains are out of action more than in action on the lines near here, seems anytime you put a computer near a train it's a recipe for disaster. -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
