And its amazing how adults have hazy memories. And the vandalism they
did when they were young suddenly becomes just a bit of fun.

I could swing the statement "maybe if contractors didn't leave so much
crap along the train lines there wouldn't be any ammo for the kids to
lob at the trains" around but then I would just get abuse.


But you were saying in the GNER/HEAT thread only the other day "Well
apparently part of the problem is not enough gravel/stones." So do you want
to take all the ballast away so that kids don't have any stones to throw, or
do you want the trains to run?
