The German Transrapid crashed into a maintennance vehicle today on the test track in Western Germany. 23 people died, 10 were injured. This unfortunate event is probably a bad way to advertise for this, but hey, I didn’t know you could take rides on the Transrapid as a “tourist”. Presumably, they will improve their procedures after this accident. I wouldn’t mind taking a ride on it once it’s back in operations. I’ll peg it under “destinations to visit”.

BBC’s Sean Coughlan has an intersting column about commuters who use high-speed trains or planes to commute internationally. He says that with new high-speed train routes and the cheapest airline tickets ever, some people take advantage of cheap housing and other benefits in one country while working in another. An interesting read.
