Re: Canals,Green Corridors and Drought

There are rumours that one of the rail companies is going to take on someone in management who knows about railways .... a first ... your time may still come!

It's depressing enough for us passengers - must be even worse for you.

If they had ploughed the money in correctly the railways would have been a godsend to the industries. There were many types of wagons developed that would have been very useful to use but the type of terminals needed for them were deemed too expensive. How short sighted can you get.
