Crystal Palace solution

I think TfL should suggest this to the safety bods just to get their reaction ! http://home.arcor.de/guenter.kretzsc...ack_carr_.html It is an incredible line, that one, and I'm surprised it isn't better known. A rural DMU-worked branch wanders off the main line, another quite pretty branch wanders off that one, then among the trees just before the end is the connection to the DB-operated funicular - and it is huge, not a Scarborough-seafront job. At the top are second-hand S-bahn type trains on an isolated electric line wandering through the countryside. The only snag is that it is in the middle of nowhere, though there is a Youth Hostel at the end of the branch. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
