Title: No (GWR) news - good news?
Post by: grahame on October 07, 2022, 23:35:35
Our Rail News feed has little if any GWR / South West specific stuff on it tonight - and that's a common theme.

From the most popular stories:
Quote

noting that the "revamp" which has no location clue in the title is Darlington.

And from all news in the last 4 hours, little "South West" either:

On the basis that "no news is good news" should we be celebrating, even if the forum is quieter for the lack of local stories?
