So, what is Mail Rail's ultimate fate, then?

It deserves a new use.



Could be used to help redistribute 'Boris bikes' to different docking
stations around central London.

(I only throw that in there for the potential amusement factor lest
Bozza finds himself racking his brain for a new use for it, and coming
up with that as his latest wheeze...)

Otherwise, rubber dinghy rapids.

I was musing that an underground Draisine line could be a tourist
attraction but hadn't the nerve to suggest it but in company with
dinghy rapids what the heck.

For those who are unfamiliar with what a Draisine is
http://www.bretagne35.com/uk/explore...ons-patrimoine
features a French one,there are a few others abroad and considering
the enthusiasm for old railways in Britain I find it surprising
something similar has never been done.

Yes, I think that I have seen pictures of one in Ontario, in Canada.
That'd be cool to have that in Britain, but three words come to mind
that will undoubtedly ruin the whole concept.

Any guesses?
