    What happened with the 500-series Shinkansen?

    Cylindrical body is not an efficient way to utilize the loading gauge, the interior space of the 500 series is obviously smaller than other types of Shinkansen trains. Although it's appearance is indeed distinctive, the imitation of airplane design that was popular in the past seems unnecessary now.

    Increasingly sad state of London Underground trains - graffiti and disrepair

    Although not universal but a significant number of graffiti "artists" (apparently the pundits here don't appreciate the term being called them) are obviously relatively wealthy, can use a full box of expensive spray paint in their operations, and are equipped with their 4k cameras and drones for...
