It was great fun chatting to Geoff. We poked around a couple of stations on the Cotswold Line and could probably have chatted for hours more if we'd had the time. Slightly freaky to go to YouTube today and see that 7,230 people have watched the interview so far!

I wish I'd known about that bus shelter when I was there last summer!

Just one comment: I think the web address is slightly unfortunate. "Systemed" does sound (or rather, look) as if it's peddling dodgy meds...

Perhaps more seriously, the distinction between "line out of use" and "disused line" is not terribly clear. I guess you deliberately didn't use "dismantled line" (as seen on OS^▸ maps) because some disused lines might still have track in place.

I registered systemed.net (after the French phrase "système D") back in 1999, way before anyone was selling dodgy medicines on the internet. It's been my web and email address for 20 years so I'm not changing it now! Cheesy

Judging by the dodgy spelling and vocabulary I see in some of the emails from said companies I doubt many of the senders were even born in 1999!

I've realized my French is so rusty I can't even say "I've learnt something today".
(would it be j'ai appris quelquechose aujourd'hui?)
