The APT still holds the record for fastest journey time between London and Glasgow in normal service at just under 4 hours, so you're absolutely justified in feeling sad about it not working out.
The real tragedy is that the UK currently uses the same tilting tech for trains on the WCML, just worse.
Am I wrong for feeling haunted from beyond the grave by what could have been with the APT-E?
No, it could have been great. Fuck the reactionary British press.
