   Ok FediTravellers... What's your favourite train and why?

   For me, it's the BR Class 43 HST.

   I grew up with this thing, every Friday night, waiting on a platform for dad to come home from London.

   The scream of the Valenta engine, the sleek design and me, having this intrinsic knowledge that trains are awesome...

   We got to know the station staff and drivers, so getting a cab tour was such a cool thing 😊

     @Nikkileah For me, I think the Caledonian sleeper.

     Because a bunch of us once drank the bar dry of whisky on the way up to Glasgow.

     Before Milton Keynes.

     @goatsarah how long ago did you do that? These days it seems to be priced for, and marketed at, wealthy tourists rather than people who live in Scotland 😒
