Re: Finland has the Pendolino (4.00 / 3)

More relevant to the diary is Talgo Oy, the Finnish subsidiary of the Spanish company, which not only manufactures double-deck cars:

...but, using Talgo's axle-less individual wheels technology, also has a project for the world's first throughout-double-deck EMU (but with AFAIK no firm order yet), the Talgo 22.

Re: Finland has the Pendolino (none / 0)

I've travelled on the Pendolinos many times - mostly to Turku/Åbo in the SW corner of Finland. Business class is a place you can actually work, and get good coffee where you sit.

But for meeting interesting people, the Sibelius to St Petersburg is much more fun.

Re: Finland has the Pendolino (none / 1)

Yeah, the Pendolino is nice - when it runs. Not when it is stuck in the middle of nowhere because of snow, a broken door, electrical problems or whatever... If I wanted to be sure I could reach my destination in time I'd travel with IC or IC2, not Pendolino.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--
