Why does everyone keep asking when this was made when the answer is alreday there?? It was 1988 and aired in 1989.

what a long way China has come from...

True. Though it is a little sad if you imagine how much further it could have come. Imagine if there was no civil war, no PRC, no great leap forward. It could be as advanced as Japan. But it isn't.

"You're going to Australia?" asks Michael Palin... And so the yes, was that just her or the whole train? lol

this was like the 80's....But even then, you can still see the trains were very decent. After viewing this video, you just have to appreciate the progress China made in the past 20 years. Nowadays, Chinese trains are still a convenient, safe and affordable way to travel around the country, but much much more comfortable..

i know - i've always thought that when watching these classic vids. very 1980s - but watching it does remind you of a world now gone - what with the advancesments of techonology and international globalisation - rendering many of these (hitherto advanced trains at that time) ineffective/outdated today.

yeh - the vid is about 20 years old - maybe a little more -altho i'm pretty sure this series was first aired on british tv during the period when the 'cold war' came to an end - around 88-90 ish
