Not the flying banana
Just Been watching a fraudulent Flying Banana. Yes, there is another one.....................This one runs on rails at upto 120 mph.Warp speed 4.Dont worry Bob, this Flying Banana checks railway line’s throughout the country for faults, so you are not likely to meet it.And Yes, it is all yellow.Fantastic bit of kit.

Been on the go for a while, HST power cars and rolling stock full of sensors, cameras etc. Max speed is 125, not 120, amazing that it can pick up rail defects running at that speed.

Amazing bit of kit.The programme actually showed it ‘reading’ the distance between the rails. Four coaches I believe.

Both go at Warp factor 3!
However, one is based in Saltash, the other in Derby, between their trips around the country. Just wondered if the two Flying Bananas could be easily photographed together perhaps in Saltash, when the big one is in Cornwall? |

Now That sounds a good idea. Wonder if it could be arranged?
