Re: Railways

Steve Firth (usenet-ut@xxxxxxxxxxxx) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

Indeed. That's the page you posted earlier, and which states quite
clearly that the Pendular first entered service in July 1980.

Tilting trains first entered service in 1938.

Quite possibly. I have no idea of the history of the technology. I do know
that Citroen had similar tilt-into-the-corner technology in trial on the DS
in the late '50s, though.

I'm merely pointing out that NM's confident assertion that Talgo Pendulars
(which he named explicitly) were in service contemporaneously with the UK
still building steam trains is chronological complete bollocks - Twenty
complete years separate them.
