Both lines, of course, rely on a driver in the cab to control the

I know that filming was taking place a few months ago, and the last I

Gerrards Cross update 5/7/05....Transport in Aylesbury

Well said, Jack. Chiltern Railways offer *excellent* value for money,
whether as a taxpayer or a farepayer.

bloody rip-Off.
