BBC: "Two new trains, based on the originals, will carry up to 32 passengers on a 0.6 mile (1km) section of the line." At £16 per 0.6m, it is even more expensive (per mile) than Heathrow Express. So is the Snowdon Mountain Railway (at about £5/mile). -- Roland Perry |

If I want to do something I find it best to get it into the diary (a) to stop me arranging something else on the same day by mistake and (b) as an incentive to make it happen. I sometimes put TV programmes in the diary to make sure I don't forget to watch or record. but "catch up" excepted (which doesn't always work) you may only get one chance to watch/record a TV program once this museum is open, there are hundreds of future occasion that you can visit I attach a mystical quality to my diary. If it's in the diary this makes if far more likely to happen. I accept we all operate differently. |

I thought you meant the carried trains were Subway gauge, but no, the carrying train is Subway gauge! |
