If any one is curious how they do things "over there", I took a trip from Edinburgh to Canterbury. It was just transportation as part of a vacation trip, but it was an really interesting trip. Might be some take-aways for Amtrak. I'm still thinking about that. What do you all think?

Nice. Bring it here.
Great story and pictures! Quite the "Canterbury Tale."
It's nice that they brought back the LNER name. I was there only a month ago, in St. Pancras and King's Cross. Wonderful places, they are, still serving the purpose they were built for. If only they would do something with Euston, a bleak, ugly place. It was the British NYP and suffered the same fate at about the same time as Penn.

Yes. Very cool!

Are there any plans for steam excursions using the new LNER's coaches?
Perhaps pulled by 'Flying Scotsman' or one of the surviving A4's?
Would be quite the sight, just like the two 'Evening Stars' posed at the National Railway Museum not so long ago.
