Changing track - Global

Preface

The world's major train-building nations (France, Canada and Japan) are finding there's a quick route to winning global influence while helping their own economies: send in your sleekest, sexiest trains. Throughout this issue we spend time on the rails exploring everything from the potential of a 'slow' revolution in intercity rail travel to how to look neat on the Nozomi to Fukuoka.
