Oh, it makes me feel good that we “tried” but sad that we have missed so many opportunities to get this all going when on the continent they have already done so much more..

To **All** utilities:-
Standing charges, line rental etc should cover ***ALL*** infrastructure improvements.
We should NOT repeat NOT pay for all of the improvements to solve years of neglect and dire lack of planning.

Sad to see this film. To think that if trams and trolleybuses had been kept going, we could have had a truly modern transportation system in London

What a dreary old day out there. Wanted to do some more work outside so I'll just have to knuckle on down with internal work. Woodstove just had a bit of maintenance. Such fun!

Back from a lovely trip to Lyon. Very impressed with their transport (TCL) system. I registered my debit card on the website to track my trips.
€2.10 fare and worked out at £1.85 for a one hour trip that covers any Bus, Tram, Metro in the Zone 1-2 area.

@hastingsdiesels.co.uk .. I was at the @bluebell railway today helping out with our unit. We even became a fire train as we assisted putting out a smouldering fire on the Imberhorn Viaduct .. We think some ash from the steam services got into a wooden sleeper.
