by Sarah Dillon

How exciting – as if train travel in France wasn’t glamorous enough, they’ve now come up with a way to meet real people along the way too. A great development in the move towards integrating our real-life and virtual networks.

Nursing a paper cup of luke-warm tea on the draughty London – Birmingham Silverlink train service, or knocking back an espresso on the Paris – Lyon TGV – I know where I’d rather have my real-life social networking encounter!
