I read in newspapers that in the next 3, 4 years, there will be an express train from Gravesend, Kent, to central London, and it takes only 17 minutes.
On paper, this sounds terrific. But from a health perspective, is it good to travel twice a day (going to work and back home) on an express train?

Of course it's a good idea -- what would make you think it's not. Not only is it beneficial to the environment to have fewer autos on the highway; but research has shown that commuting by automobile (and traffic tie-ups that accompany the practice) actually lead to life-shortening stress levels. It's good for you; it's good for the environment. Who could ask for anything more?

If you really ask such questions let me remind you of the famous quotation:
"Rail travel at high speed is not possible, because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia."
- Dr Dionysus Lardner (1793-1859), professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, University College London.
So now you really have something to worry about.
Meanwhile I shall continue to use the Maglev in Shanghai at 431kph (270mph) without problem!

Wow! completely interesting! Umm....i do no longer think the age exchange could make the prevalent guy or female unlikeable. some readers, in spite of the undeniable fact that, might probably subconsciously merchandise to it. I mean, in the event that they are an excellent couple, then people ought to desire to love them, in spite of the undeniable fact that ought to often think of how plenty older he's. perchance you will possibly make him 27 or 26. that would ruin the storyline even nonetheless. Being unsuccessful at 26 isn't as risky as almost 30. you recognize what? do in basic terms no longer worry approximately what ppl think approximately the age exchange. the story's plot fairly demands that massive of an age exchange. it relatively is valuable. decide for it!

What difference can it possibly make as to how fast the train goes - except it gets you there quicker ! Many people already do that anyway - Kings Cross to Peterborough is a prime example.

it is better to travel in a nice comfortable Chelsea tractor, 17 minutes is OK but it is the time getting to the station and from the station to Kings Cross or where ever you go in london for "Business" that ruins the day.

Well, I think there is no problem but if you are in doubt check the train driver´s medical reports and you will find out for sure.
