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.

You can't be me, I'm taken

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--
