Do you know, Nick, the British trains haven’t changed much, though I think they have sliding doors now. They are still noisy, crowded, dirty and invariably late and do not make a good impression on visitors froms other countries. I avoid travelling by train and even the buses seem to have come from last century. They are getting very cramped with no legroom and the tiniest of seats. Anyone over 5 feet tall has to sit sideways. It’s ridiculous.
Looking forward to riding on this bad boy Nick, the current one is a little long in the tooth.
That new NEX train looks incredible. I wish California could be even remotely as advanced as Japan when it comes to trains and mass transit.
Seems so sophisticated. Though, the old one still much more better than all trains in my country.
I had a pretty similar experience riding the Narita train! Actually I remember just taking the train in 1996 within the airport and thinking that Japan was soooooooooo advanced!
The trains in Japan are soo nice. I also found out that being late according to JR is anything after 6 seconds from the posted time. Trains are never early, they are only on-time.
In the UK and EU I think it’s 15 minutes is late and in the US I think we measure that in hours or weeks……horah to Japan and JR!
I always enjoyed riding the trains in Japan. from Sasebo to Nagasaki or Fukaoka….looking forward to it again.
I’ve never taken the NEX. I always ride the Skyliner to Keisei Ueno. That train looks brilliant though. Always something new happening in Tokyo, that’s for sure!
I’m going to miss the old N’EX! It was my very first impression of Japan post immigration and I have always looked forward to the train ride between Narita Airport and Shinjuku. A chance to relax after a long flight or the last minute rush of shopping that accompanies a final day in Tokyo.
Stop complaining about British trains. At least you can buy a ticket with a foreign credit card, the last train leaves well after 9.43pm and they aren’t heated to 33 degrees in the winter. The Narita Express could be great but it crawls at an average of 60kms per hour and is still locked in the era where foreigners were just not welcome.
