"The new age of the train"

In January 1989, The Community of European Railways (CER) presented their proposal for. a high-speed, pan-European train network, extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland, by year 2020. If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. Brussels will be only one and half hours from Paris to Frankfurt, from Milan to Marseilles, and from Barcelona to Madrid, will be by train, not plane.

    When the network is complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high-speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300kph; upgraded lines, which allow for speeds up to 200-225kph; and existing lines, for local connections and distribution of freight.

 In business people can choose between a three-hour train journey from city center to city center, and a one-hour flight, they'll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won't go by plane any more. If you calculate flight time, check-in, and travel to and from the airport, you'll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late, due to bad weather or air traffic congestion or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first!

Since France introduced the first 260kph TVG service between Paris and Lyon in 1981, the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high-speed trains. If people accept the CER's plan, the 21^st century will be "The New Age of the Train'.

Mistaken Identity

(After Mark Twain)

Years ago I arrived one day at Salamanca near Mew York, where I was to change trains and take the sleeper. There were a lot of people on the platform, and they were all trying to get into the long sleeper train which was already packed.

I asked the young man in the booking-office if I could have two tickets and he answered "No!-." and shut the window in my face.

I found a local official and asked him if I could have some poor little corner somewhere in a sleeping - car, but he cut me short saying: "No, you can't, every corner is full. Now, don't trouble me anymore," and he turned his back on me and walked off.

I said to my companion. "These people talk to me like this because they don’t’ know who I am. If they Knew..."

But my friend stopped me, "Don't talk- such nonsense," he said, "if they knew who you are. do you think it would help you to get a vacant seat in a train which has no vacant seats in it?" That was too much. '

I found the same local official and said Very¹ politely that my name was Mark Twain and... But he cut me short again: "I told you not to trouble me any more," and again he turned his tack on me.

Ї looked around helplessly but just then the conductor came to me, his face all politeness.

"Can I help you. sir?" he said. "Will you have a place in the sleeper?"

"Yes, certainly," I said.

"We have only the big- family compartment," be continued. "Here, Tom, take these suitcases to the big- family compartment. "

The porter made us comfortable in the compartment, and then said. "Now, is there anything" you want., sir? Because you can have just anything you want. "

"Well. How, that lamp is rather too high. Can I have another lamp just at the head, so that I can read comfortably?".

"Yes, sir. The lamp you want is in the next compartment. I'll get it from there. Yes, sir, you can ask for anything you want, " And he disappeared.

Here I smiled at my companion and said, "Well, what do you say now? Didn't their- attitude change the moment they learned that I was Mark Twain?"

As I was saying this, the porter's smiling Гасе appeared in the doorway, and this speech followed, "Oh, sir, I recognized, you the minute I set my eyes on you. I told the conductor so. "

"is that so, my boy?" .1 said, "who am I?"

"Mr. Mr. Clellah, Mayor. of New York," he said and disappeared.

Answer the following questions:

1. 'What did Mark Twain do at Salamanca?

2. What were all the people doing on the platform?

3. Who did Mark Twain speak to about getting a place in a sleeper?

4. What answers did he get from them?

5. Who helped Mark Twain to get the family compartment?

6. In what way 'did the porter make Mark Twain and his companion comfortable there?

7. Why did the conductor give him the family compartment?
