HST

The lines of the HST never seem to date, but the interiors get a refurb every so often and Virgin's latest looks pretty good. A crew member had just introduced herself and all the other on-train 'managers' by name, as if we cared. I could challenge passengers to repeat a single one of the names them without guessing. The only link with the past is the manual doors which seem to confound anybody born since 1975.
