Just in case anyone was planning to go for the grand opening next week, be
aware that the railway has been delayed in the mail, and won't open till
September.


They should have used Special Delivery.

It was delivered to Newsnight tonight. The tunnel stalactites are still
there, and they've tried to leave everything as it was on the last day of
operation.

Reassuringly, apparently, the tunnels are largely rat-free, as they never
had passengers dropping food to feed the rodents.

I've never seen three dots as a single character before. How did you do
that?

It's the ellipsis character. It's available on my selected iPad keyboard,
and Word does an automatic substitution if your keyboard lacks it.

Some other grown-up characters on my keyboard include —, – as well as -;
Ï€;Â*æ; µ; §; Æ’; Ω; ¶; ∞; ©; ®; â€*; ∫; «; ; ‰; Ø; â„¢; Â¥; ß; ∂; ∆; •; ¿; Ω; √;
∑; Æ, etc. Of course, I don't know if you'll see the same symbols on your
screen as I typed…

All coming up fine in Thunderbird on my MacBook. I can't seem to enter
them on my iPhone 4S (with its slightly out of date operating system)
though.

That has always puzzled me in horror films: loads of cobwebs and rats in damp cellars and metal tunnels where flies and humans apparently never go
