Well we've made it to the station. This one is the biggest, cleanest and most well organised station I've ever been in. Just picked up a quick snack and we've boarded the train. It's very modern and very comfy. The journey to Hangzhou should only take 45 minutes. Looking forward to spending tomorrow around the West Lake.

Blimey this is fast! We are unto 335 km per hour already and getting faster. British Rail eat your heart out!
