There's a train comin'

Funny where things are made. These trains are manufactured in Japan and assembled here. Dyson used to make his vacuum cleaners in Malmesbury but now makes them in Malaysia. The German firm Miele, who make better cleaners than Dyson, make theirs in... Germany.

I think that's probably the New Measurement Train aka the Flying Banana - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Measurement_Train .

Yesterday afternoon,I saw a yellow (possibly slightly orange)train coming down the valley from the Kingham direction. I assume it was not a phantom, but certainly unusual.

It remains to be seen whether one or two HSTs are retained for the peak service on the Cotswold Line. I wouldn't bet against it!

Who's looking forward to the arrival of modern train travel on the Cotswold line (and who'll shed a tear for the passing of the dear old 125)?
