Happy Face 29 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 All those bloody corners! You could probably do it in 5 minutes if it went in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WubbleUC 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 That was like the beginning of Get Carter! If you stare at it too much you start to feel like you're going backwards 'n all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7784179.stm Brings back memories of the old 'continuity' days when they used to show London to Brighton in 3 mins... Always used to love that. I also remember seeing a programme when they showed a Tornado doing the entire coastline of Britain which was then speeded up so the whole thing was done in 10 mins or something like that.

Meenzer 15871 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 German TV still shows "interesting train journeys" in the middle of the night (or at least it did when I was living there). In real time, no less. Burma was a particular favourite, for some reason, even though the trains travel at a crawl and they'd only show 30 minutes or so a night. And there's some travel channel up in the mid-200s on Sky that has a regular feature called "Swiss Railway Journeys". Never was a title more promising.

They do that on several of the best bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
