The Dutch railways have a problem: their high speed train Fyra (supposed to connect Amsterdam and Brussels) arrived with years of delay, cost millions of euros and fell apart after just a few months of use. Closer inspection revealed no less than 26 serious defects in just one train. Our neighbours in Belgium declared they are not interested in the train anymore. However, the Dutch government and Dutch railways are still discussing whether or not they want to keep a high speed train that won't be able to travel at high speed because our country is too small, and that's kept from falling apart with duct tape.
I'd like to suggest a different use: in the show Killer Karaoke, candidates have to sing a song while being subjected to stressful situations (think singing in a bath tub filled with snakes). Why not singing on a train that's going at 250 km/h and could fall apart any moment?
Title: It would make quite good television
