Of course, the question on everyone's lips was – where on earth was this train when Coldplay were here? Seriously though, it's an extraordinary announcement. But it's going to, ironically, take some time to get here.
We're still waiting for the regular passenger service to be rolled out after all. But it does look like we're getting closer.
When plans for the high-speed rail were announced, Etihad Rail also revealed where the first four passenger stations will be. So, progress is slow but to meet the UAE's high standards it has to be.
While the train couldn't be here on time for Coldplay, we will get a longer Dubai Metro service on Monday for Green Day. I'll see you all in the mosh pit for that one.
