Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Jettrain shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Jettrain offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Jettrain at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Jettrain? Wrong! If the Jettrain is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Jettrain then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Jettrain? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Jettrain and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Jettrain wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Jettrain then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Jettrain site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Jettrain, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Jettrain, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The JetTrain is an experimental high-speed rail built by Bombardier Transportation in an attempt to make European-style high-speed service more financially appealing to passenger railways in North America. It uses the same LRC (train)-derived tilting train carriages as the Acela Express trains that Bombardier sold to Amtrak in the 1990s and a similar locomotive, but instead of being powered by an overhead catenary as is the Acela and most other high-speed trains, it uses a 3,750 kW (5,000 shp) Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 gas turbine.

Like the Acela trains, it is capable of speeds in the range of 240 km/h (150 mph) depending on tracks and signaling.

In the early 2000s, Bombardier aggressively marketed the JetTrain to a number of customers in North America as a less-expensive way to build high-speed railways, but no such systems have yet been constructed, and the company appears to have stopped focusing on this campaign.

The system that came the closest to being built was Florida High Speed Rail for passenger service between Orlando and Tampa in the United States, which was to open in 2009, but was denied funding by a referendum in 2004, after the start of detail engineering stages.

In Canada, Bombardier and VIA Rail presented a proposal to use the JetTrain on VIA’s busy Quebec City-Windsor Corridor, but were unable to obtain funding from the national government; some analysts believe it was the victim of the transition period during which Paul Martin was replacing Jean Chrétien as prime minister.

In the UK, the Jet Train has been proposed as a replacement for the 125mph diesel-electric British Rail Class 43 (HST).Rail Magazine, issue 550, page 33
