This week’s wrap is equal parts road and rail, so there should be no complaints that you aren’t getting the best of both worlds here.

With the service set to begin trials in 2020, details of the futuristic helicopter service have thus far have been scant – until now.

We’re serving up this week’s Road & Rail Wrap with a spoonful of humour, thankfully sans any dad jokes.
