☝️🤓 Um, actually, the 4-decade-old "Pacer" (pictured) was retired a few years ago.

It was replaced by the exciting new "Sprinter", merely 40 years old.

Wow! So futuristic!

I've always loved Britain's impotent vehicle aesthetic. It's just so adorable, like watching bunnies.

I used to work at Paddington Station, I'm sure we had streamlined trains.

Also, don't we have pendolinos anymore?

Gotta admit, the old school high air resistance trains look cute though.

The Class 800 may have seats made from cardboard, but they do at least look like they were designed this century.
