Business in Calgary
Years ago I rode France’s excellent fast train, the TGV, from Lyon to Paris. It was an amazing ride – fast, smooth, comfortable and competitively priced. This is a train that actually does 300 kilometres per hour. What is remarkable is that when you go into a curve, you can still walk down the aisle of the train without feeling like you are being thrown against the side. I think this has something to do with the suspension system and track design. It would be my fervent wish that we could duplicate something like that in Alberta. If we did, I would even take a trip to Edmonton just for the ride.
