They still don't seem to have worked out how passengers can board when it's hammering through a station at that speed though...

According to the comments that video has been speeded up and it doesn't look right to me. Maybe if it was a maglev but not on rails. This video is more like it.

That video is definitely sped up. Rode that train yesterday.

That other one looks too slow.

Horrible, really, that any video now just sparks a conversation as to whether it is real or not.

We got them. The APT was brought into service after a long and difficult development, didn't set the world alight, was withdrawn again, then reintroduced, and then removed again.
Matters were complicated by the fact that the more conventional HST had appeared by then, and the plug was pulled on APT.

This is the first in a three-part series documenting the history of the Class 390 Pendolino, which might be interesting to some.
