We need more solared powered trains! Well done Byron Bay.

This is shocking, mindless vandalism
It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.
