Quite a few pictures around of the unveiling of the new SKYFALL East Coast train in the UK. Looks great. I'll collect some of them here:

awesome! but why not called it 007 train instead wouldn't it make more sense? It so nice they recognized Bond and now have a line named after the 50th anniversary movie

In slightly related news, Naomie Harris was live on Sky News this morning:

 

'Bond Making A Pretty Moneypenny'

 

The main Sky News website also seems to have SKYFALL branding and advertising all over it today.

There was also about 5 adverts in the London Metro today for the Skyfall DVD and Blu-Ray. Also, an advert for getting a Skyfall 'Oyster Card' wallet from select stations, while stocks last!

Just found this ariel shot of the train in motion - looks brilliant, and would be amazing to see that zooming across the landcape!

And reports are that sadly Berenice was caught up in a toxic fume scare on a BA flight from LA to Heathrow, 1 hour into the flight they had to make an emergency landing after passengers started feeling unwell, due to a suspected fume leak.

 

Berenice is fine and suffered no after-effects from the fumes, but sadly missed the launch of the train.
