German rail operator Deutsche Bahn has given the public its first look at the future of its rail stock. Called the "Ideenzug" or "Idea Train", the carriages are full of technology designed for business travellers with noise-cancelling chairs, built-in tablet stands and privacy pods for peace and quiet.
Other features include a gym,
a play area for children and
and a selection of games consoles.
Jörg Sandvoß, head of DB Regio,
told Süddeutsche Zeitung that because car
manufacturers are aiming to create 'rolling
living rooms' on our roads, train
operators need to not only keep
up with car manufacturers but overtake them.
