President Obama's inauguration speech helped by train travel?
-
Travelling by train for 4 hours on President Obama's way to Washington could have been the ideal preparation for that all inspiring speech - a nice comfortable coach, reflective view and ability to get up walk around and think.
Had this been a high speed train then the 200km journey could have been done in only 54 minutes, equivalent to that of a TGV between Le Mans and Paris (an equivalent distance).
Maybe not enough time for the President to review the speech in full, but showing how high speed can deliver an extremely competitive journey time door to door compared to the 54 minutes it takes for airlines to fly airport to airport between Philadelphia and Washington. Plus at over 250 km/h it may have been difficult to wave to the masses en route to Washington.
