High Speed Train Seats Used To Deliver Fresh Fish
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Railway Gazette.
This is the introductory paragraph.
East Japan Railway is testing the use of high speed passenger trains to move fresh fish from Sendai to Tokyo.
The last paragraph explains the title.
These services do not use passenger accommodation, unlike JR East’s latest test programme where the No 1 car is closed to passengers so that the seats can be used to transport the containers of fish.
But then the idea isn’t new as Great Western Railway ran a trial in 2015, with the fish travelling in the back of the locomotive on an Intercity 125. That story is also in Railway Gazette.
Sounds fishy to me!

Talk about being packed in like sardines! ( An old advertising picture and slogan)
