Behind-the-scenes with our new train-set

Scum Class. Painful.

Richard poses for his September slot in next year's Rail Express calendar.

Train manufacturers' industry spies weren't terribly discreet.

The boys' esteemed First Class passengers DEFINITELY don't look horrified by their opulent Pageant CD Champagne-based carriage.

‘Do we take Oyster cards, James?'

TGV12 - officially the reddest engine... in the world.

‘Are you SURE it doesn't need more power?'

‘This booster seat seems a tad unnecessary, chaps.'

TG's a dead cert for this year's coveted Creative Use of Caravans that Doesn't Involve Caravanning award.

So your bottom goes here?

The Editor of Rail Express and A Man remain unimpressed by the TGV12's unique passenger experience.
