I think I can see my house from here.

Wow, was that train going that fast? Are you sure you're in the UK? Was it on time?

The train in front of mine was four minutes late—mine was a similar amount of time early. Most trains on that line were ahead of schedule.

I calculated the speed by timing the (quarter) mile markers zipping past, and actually posted this from the train (free wifi).

No, I don't believe I'm in England.

I think I heard you tweet about then!

Free wifi on a train?

140 mph?

I don't believe you were in England either. You sure those weren't quarter kilometre markers?

hey this is not England
right?
BTW the image is awesome..
