Panorama - Our showcase for scenic, dramatic or 'arty' photographs is sponsored by Fuji Sensia II film. Why not try submitting a shot or two?
Batteries Included - It was possibly the strangest 'EMU' ever to run on Britain's tracks - and although it has survived into preservation, few people are fully aware of it. We tell the strange story of 'the train that ran on batteries'!

Full story in Headline News. INSET (right): One of the little-known 'Class 67'-style locos that work in Israel. See Headline News.
