OMNI: OK so it doesn't deal with flying but it is travel related and some of us use this alternative to IAD and Dullard airport.

From the www.amtrak.com site (This is just the highlights


Amtrak (wednesday) unveiled its new, ultramodern high-speed train that will go into service later this year on the Northeast Corridor and announced the rebranding of most Amtrak trains throughout the Northeast as
Acela*. The new train and brand name reflect fundamental changes in passenger rail service that will improve speed, service, stations and more, and put Amtrak in a much stronger competitive position in the Northeast and other high speed corridors in the future.

The first high-speed trains, known as Acela Express, are scheduled to go into service between Boston, New York and Washington late this year, competing head-on with the air shuttles and Interstate 95 for time-sensitive business travelers. The current four-hour and 30-minute rail trip between Boston and New York will be cut to three hours. Up to fifteen minutes or more will be cut off today's three-hour Metroliner trip between New York and Washington with some express trains running at less than two and a half hours.

My questions: has anyone used the Bullet train service in Europe and have views on it?
(I don't think the Chunnel Train I took Paris to London was a Bullet.)

At least this train lover will have another choo choo to try out!
