 CS> This time, unlike last time (blush) I paid attention to the names

 CS> Nagasaki <g>.  I've never actually gone to Nagasaki by accident,

ml> hunh? jump off and run back? can't go between them through the doors o
ml> each end?? 

You can until you reach where the 2 trains are connected but then you have an
engine at each end and have to get out and walk around that part <g>.  You've
seen a train so are familiar with the front of one.  This is 2 of the trains
linked together, so the 'front engine' of the Sasebo Midori is in the middle
sort of with 4-6 cars behind it and 6-8 in front of it (and the Kaomeme front
engine at the very front).

ml> it has been a hugely long time since i was in japan ;)  loved riding t
ml> bullet train, though!

So do I!  Nice ride.
