In my story, at one point, the heroes are on a hovertrain and there is another hovertrain behind them, piloted by the villain. |
Early versions of the hovertrain rested on a cushion of air, like a hovercraft that travels over sea or land, but later ones could levitate. |
The shock was even greater since I remembered its prototype, the Hovertrain, developed by the NRDC near Cambridge at St Ives. |
Moves are steaming ahead to honour an Atherton-born boffin whose vision of a high speed hovertrain was dismissed. |
After years of calculations and plans, a British company is beginning to translate its ideas for a 250 mph hovertrain into concrete and metal. |
