London's Olympic bullet trains have been modified after commuters
raised concerns over _frightening and alarming_ wobbles at 140mph.

The passengers _ who pay premium fares to use Britain's fastest
domestic service _ complain of _turbulence_ as the trains pass through
tunnels between St Pancras and Kent.

Curious. The trains are timetabled at only 125MPH, with higher speeds only
used to catch up when running late.
