I am sure that when they were new back in 1990 that the XP2000 tilting sets were an eye-opening and cutting edge design. However, I cannot help think that the design looks somewhat dated now and if I'm honest, a little ugly! Statens Järnvägar's (En. SJ, Sweedish state railways) 2034 arrives at Copenhagen central with the 13.21 service from Stockholm Central. These five or six-car sets have a top speed of only one hundred and twenty miles per hour but revolutionised train travel in Sweeden and have proved to be a successful design.
