Flying trains… joint Japanese and Chinese development. It’s made of a magnesium ⊛ alloy that generates electricity through friction.

Nice, but takes the fun out of train travel, too fast to actually see anything, though it could be useful if airspace is interdicted for whatever reason such as volcanic ash. And I’m still waiting for my PAG (personal anti-gravity) vehicle.
You want nice and slow? Then try The Algarve to Lisbon train – with any luck and if it’s during a national army furlough they will board (crowd) the snail trail too with you. Or if you like to get out and finish by walking the rest of the way to your destination- the train from Meteora to Athens go so slow in spots (rail strikes) you may also luck out and get a priest or monk to share cabin and make it extra special. I’ve had that ticket. Jumped out window and walked to Athens.
Rome area commuter trains are enough for me thanks 🙂
