With leather seats and kiosks selling food and drinks, it promises to be more comfortable than the bus. There's also a lounge car, complete with a stereo and DVD system, at back of the train, which can be rented for a group. Introductory ticket prices are $50 one-way for coach; $75 for first class...

Six years ago, when he made the first film, he was a supporting player to his then girlfriend Kate Beckinsale's Selene, a vision in pancake face, blood red lipstick and black leather. Then she went off with the movie's director, Len Wiseman - ouch. Since then, Beckinsale has played Ava Gardner in The Aviator and, more or less, Judith Miller in Nothing But the Truth; Wiseman graduated to directing the very snappy fourth Die Hard movie; and Sheen became an upmarket character star.
