@jon Sounds like when Americans talk about innovation and bringing the future and then when you look at what they're talking about it's a line that runs a few times per day, at worse-than-1950s speeds, but with wifi and USB chargers.

@Alon Right. It's pretty much that indeed. The signal box on the line dates from 1907.
