From Martin Trevelyan-Jones
In his letter (11 February, p 33), Bob Donaghy suggests the last car of a nonstop, high-speed train “breaking off” to become a tram and reach its destination. This is a variation on the “slip carriages” used in the past in the UK. In the 1950s I often had to sit in the last coach, as this was de-linked from the train and stopped at my station by a guard.
