This is definitely a case of we did see this coming from a mile away, one might say "like a slow train coming".
As you may know we did take a trip on this train in the summer of 2008, and was hugely disappointing. The trip is hyped as "having drinks in the panoramic view cars while traveling through the country and the mountains", the truth is that almost all driving was done at night, while we were trying to sleep, and we were transported with cramped busses during the day.
This was in no way the photographers delight it was expected to be, we finally left the trip and made our own trip. and were given a significant refund after the trip.
