AVE

Spain is fast becoming the country with the longest high speed railway network in the world.

A lengthy report on the BBC uses the story to highlight the lack of progress in the UK and the tentative steps in the USA to get cracking on high speed rail.

As you know, we went on the Madrid Atocha to Cordoba AVE service (and the then decrepit Madrid to Barcelona train) in 2003, which was absolutely brilliant.
