Thank you GNER

I'm currently travelling at just under 200 miles an hour to London on a swish newly refitted mallard class train complete with WiFi on my way to Hackday.

What makes this journey different I'm sitting in a comfortable seat and its a smooth ride (so my back while hurting is not killing) my laptop is plugged in, my phone has switched to their base station maintain a phone link even in tunnels, and oh yeah I have the internet to keep me company on my nearly 2 hour journey.

So thanks GNER (Great north eastern railway)

it still hurts even thou youre seated comfortably?

anyway, wow! have a nice trip. me im just here inside our bedroom with my 3-year old daughter taking her afternoon nap.

have a nice trip, Tim!

Just passing out of the edge of the lincolnshire wolds (a hill range) and onto the edge of the cambridgehire fens (flat land very flat). The sun is even out but given I'm leaving flood mayhem behind for a weekend, I might be going home to a pond :( I live in a valley which is nicely protected but every where around us is flooded

we also get those floods during the rainy months of july to november. my country is typhoon-prone.

we are very lucky in the UK while we do get nasty storms they are far between and normally a lot of warnings are issued, etc this caught everyone by surprise, and so the various river defences were not put in to use till it was to late.

Still as I say very unusual here guess we are not use to it ;)

I sat on one off the new trains going on a wee trip to York, Safe as well, mind that train that derailed near Kendal? it flew off the track and rolled about and only 1 death....for the uk, thats good

good trains but shite railtrack
