because god says it is well if you haven't changed. or you leader i'm not going to get more gold than when i was here we wish to take their own way all the time. but i think it closed down because of the title came and it's been washed away the reels so why wouldn't we couldn't keep having the rail so the whole thing completely got destroyed but right. i remember writing the local tech ichigo railway from here deep into the mountains where the trains use a sort of basically stay in the sidings before that go out from here to talk that she had on the local railway but it's completely gone i mean there's nothing left of it basically and you would almost not know it existed if you didn't know it had been here it's really quite sad. we're sitting here in a railway carriage from the tac it you hear a way but it's stuck in a café it's never going to move again do you feel sad about. what i

feel the going to mixed feeling of course i feel a little bit sad because it's not running anymore but now at the same time it's kept here as it was if you were transported back today to your childhood on the ticket you know right away what can you tell us about what you were seeing and hearing the sounds and smell and sight to paint us a picture while yeah maybe i take off my shoes and stand on the seat and see you know the food is coming and oh ok all this very crowded and the conductor. comes and and check the ticket and the smell is kind of oily thing. greece i could feel the shake of the engine. and it's kind of

a. curve it's open the windows sometimes you can hear the voice in the summer time i could hear the announcement and yeah the next one you know. i always had like a really deep voice yeah. you know walk on the platform i felt kind of stable. and relieve it in a sense and here we are. you made it yeah. then . you know not. as if. that was a little when you thought you did. but it. was. to do it but it is over.

mr tommy tucker invites me to speak to students in one of the classes where i used to teach english i'm sorry for a crash in your english class. well it's great i was teaching here 15 years ago as an l.t. in high school how old were you in 1999. 000 great so you were born just as i arrived. back that's not that's that's depressing to hear takes the train sometimes on the weekend on holiday if anybody take the train. has anybody been on the bullet train the shinkansen. he doesn't write here about him no he hasn't reached me as i can yet maybe maybe. maybe one day you will have your own bullet train coming to me as

i cannot be ok in particular so this is the one so it's called japan by rail. tunnel she moved me home. why are you laughing. and the very nice. i see you've been talking about a monkey falling from a tree. i'm wondering what that's about. and then the more i thought about the problem the more difficult it was for me to solve it. last i gave up no that's not that's not the culture of going back day somebody must like the opposite of this phrase though that you must always carry on never give up because you can always create your dream. nice to me. super.

super super bowl or almost the super bowl super bowl food. model. see how hard. i travel to walk in central japan where i've heard about a railway line that was on the brink of closure until they came up with a unique solution to their financial was a cat. 11 a business card with. the symbol of the railway the cat on it just. such although. i. can you tell us about why this cat is so important to you other some kid you know not number 2 that's not up. to your eyes it's

a. submitted we did it's a month. has helped revitalize the railway by bringing in tourists from japan and across asia tamar is more than just a catch she's a marketing phenomenon. but tamar is ill a new station master can't need tama number 2 is being groomed to replace her so we haven't seen the can't yet but can you. show me where your cat is and that's. all it is. right here ok. i don't. want to. i think like for a minute some of you know you're like. oh yes i know i'm an incident. i'm not used to getting the cats out you see. so horny little you know not

running around not going to be discovered so. you know i'm going up but it's over this and i miss. how much aren't going to. the nearby oil gal railway is another local line under threat and here again train tourism seems to be the answer this time instead of a cat a steam locomotive is the main attraction. a former executive of the oil gal railway has been campaigning to preserve both the steam locomotive and the local line on which it runs for more than 40 years. i 1st met mr wright 10 years ago when writing my book how are you doing how old are you now. and he too it's long we will reach 90 do you remember meeting. not oh.

i know more they were not there at all except to stream but. don't tell me come on let him know them on the screen as this could be more. fundamental. thing about him. if i take you are young face up to my needs a man in me that no thanks and. thanks in no might. be caught up in a muslim take what commitments to their own hands and just call me in as much as he in the kennel simple snoozed and that's much no one talking and no car that. was only a couple there's no concept you can run in the room and they know what the.

basket. some. think he wants and not something that. the. crown brahma down on this hill needs i wasn't gonna see. this right how would you feel you give away clothes it. hurts my regrets but it's impossible to avoid more faith and possible to avoid closing yes because. nice. money there's a scene with. joyce is there. to give her a humane. trains

are just reflecting upon the kind of things that are occurring around it you are losing your population your rule local economy is not doing well it is not the train that you must 1st look at it is the overall environment that surrounds the train connections tom he called 20 good she is a special advisor to japanese prime minister shinzo ab a train lovers especially nostalgic certainly about the last lines about the greater perspective i think is the one that one must look at in the ninety's in the last decade or so it seems that japan has lost its way a bit when it comes to innovation and innovative technology that's right that's right that's one of the greatest anxieties and concerns for many and the

deflationary environment it's almost like. you're going through a slow death process your self-esteem your self if it is see yourself have gone down so it's very much important for you to boost the collective psyche especially the good among the young people in order for them to become innovative. it's 1964 and japan receives a huge post-war boost with the launch of the shinkansen. one has. you know then. terro always she makes history by driving the 1st bullet train from osaka to tokyo he breaks the high speed world record and it's proof that japan is back on the world stage 70 june in the sky. falls in the home it. is inside when the assassin. towards ascension

and the high single you home. to. the shuttle in japan national railways was under pressure from the government to keep the top speed to well under 200 kilometers an hour. or. less than 31. 100 looking on. monday. march. on this is on the up on the way. to more moderate in the sendai. heat and i hear the room on your home. i've always wanted to try my hand at driving

a bullet train and the opportunity comes with a simulator at a japan railway's museum this is the author this is the xo back all the way ok. they were all corrupt. is there an emergency stop in the in the bullet train. when there's no emergency stop in the simulator so we start this on speed. as it was released. because being on camera the. brake brakes are going to break the oh sorry it all. or as i. like a. place very realistic this is not going to do this now is this ok you have to brake slowly brake slowly yeah there is that phrase that where are we going to create if i can i'll try to stop. it's all going to make it that is the very place the.

ladder made it to the finish i can't believe it was so close that marks out of 10 for my performance 1010 out of 10 or 8 out of 16 out of. 6 of us and he tells everyone that's ok for the 1st time i guess ok thank you very much. thank you it's driving a high speed train could soon become a thing of the past japan is already building the next generation of high and speed trains the maglev this magnetically levitating driverless train runs on a cushion of air at speeds of over 500 kilometers an hour and will shorten the journey time between tokyo and osaka from 2 and a half hours to just one hour. travelling to times. speaking. oh yeah. this is. true

dr who now we've switched me and you can feel the difference. if you change my russian. to see. the fire and then come. this time there's a top speed side i. want. to double the speed bullet for a. racing. car. piece . of ass but by 2 seconds they can have the same. consummate. as the matlab is impressive and innovative technology but it's a far cry from the adventure and sense of journey i felt travelling around japan by train and i wonder if investing in ultra high speed driverless trains linking

megacities is really what japan as a whole needs as its rural railway lines a closing. we were on the this book train there the scroll news blog top of the bullet train entrance to the carriage started flashing the time of the station lost a cat in key she station in like a number turns out died. the time we don't just go. to work not for the. phone there was another straw in my. school but i knew one new year your c.v. and all nobody else could. do was on. your own was not so much it doesn't need to send up on the go through i mean also mcguigan are you looking you with joy. thank you. and.

a fiend from. the the even to sound off the train all trace my toe to toe to toe this was always ready people to feel was like music for me it's like going in to see it to know it's a continuous flow. which moves itself. the. the the. the the the really. been a long time could skin so is a swiss monk who showed me the holy mountain of course son 10 years ago so how long is it from here to the temple how you can speak about time in the paradise this is go good how could you all didn't you take the train we did not and when you change and cable car this is called. bridge to the planet

dies do you take the train a lot when you when you leave. only take the train our mind self it's like a train that everything passes it stops when you think oh it should not be days straight always should be that way we are travelling all this body and then reason your body and the next body we are always travelling what you can't know but then you think in japan there's a this too much focus on high speed and getting there 1st and find. that's what you're saying there's nothing wrong nothing wrong with high speed trains you know for me let's say. my. technology it's incredible i have to take the train i have to take the al plane and so on so why shall i not enjoy it when i use it. which employs he from this one i guess one is good as your temple yeah day very nice people but not as good as your temple surely what are you talking each temple is good each temple is bad but

sometimes that's beyond value is all we were always in life we're trying to make contrasts and comparisons but you should give it up this makes the suffering in the world it will not change immediately. i learned my lesson more than 200 south and stuporous on here present they don't know exactly maybe 300000 small and weeks until. this kind to go. it's. even the local railway has its own memorial here on korea's real fusion of i'm not sure of them and you'll see even the manmade things are turns from through the nature it has a sense of attorney is going on he's going on is going on.

you know we're going to return now to something we talked and i get though not god . how to get it to come by you're going to know it's pretty messed up at the moment they're going to they're going to be on that she goes up so she was. never into my . world city in the world but. yes i. think i you know i found myself ok you had heard. about it makes you think i know dorsch dead i know tandoori. can i stick a function or how does it feel like how does the exact thing that happened i started important question just think time thought it can fax you comito is

a writer who explores the history of punctuality and the japanese railways can you paint a picture of how significant the impact of the railway has been for japanese society . take up to you know sort of the at that what that might be going behind them are not known but you correct them that. you know kind that they're they're already for you or there are no good at them for another book you give them and they all their food isn't like yeah can you count keep it on the bill i 2nd the next for you i know you go i did so though i know as i saw in the book there from the how you made it through your doctor whom one minute i thought you know you count on that that you have been a myth. train. i

mean i just think that i mean to my. thinking that i didn't only homeless talking dog and i thought that i think i'm often not nice and that. i mean they are that. the but but but but but but. but. but when they're going to do it for everything. you know. and. i think i have. a crucial element to this just in time culture is the time table a monthly publication that includes every train line in the country one man who

knows the challenge of creating this complex book is the timetable editor. non-crime one claim one came or. simply as your other one of your. you got talking out of it i thought i saw you know this how does it feel to be the keeper of this timetable widely considered to be the bible of the railway system and for railway fans. for the most. noticed when you pulled there are. not a single vehicle to one if you know about and it's kind i hung up this one. can you tell us from your timetable when is the next consent to come by. because. it's also a member of the prime minister and goes to the depo so it's not in the timetable of

fortunately. for them and they could just say. what do you want to call it have to call your party it's. ok. how does it feel to see it got to yellow. actually there isn't a. more lucky there isn't there. some of them with us to go to. see our thing not to do anything else. at all. musical to do tonight on us dr yellow a special bullet train that checks for problems on the track has taken on an almost mythical status in japan and shows how for some the love of the railways borders on obsession.

so i'm waiting for super bells who's famous in japan for his ability to recreate railway sounds and he's a pop musician rapper in his own right and he's coming here to perform in a collaboration with mr mcconnell who's studio we're in the ground we found. the movie is about the love you so much.
