Must be an ageing process,as I sometimes struggle to see the fascia on my mobile phone.

Having said that,

even colour TV cameras,

55 years on since introduction struggle to go from bright sunlight to shade in televised live football matches.

7  Journey by Journey / Wales local journeys / Re: TFW Future Timetable Consultation on: April 13, 2024, 03:57:09
I presume its an on-line consultation only?

Be nice if there could be a few public meetings,

like TFW did for the blockade on the Chepstow to Gloucester line to stabelise the embankment

Not to mention the meetings held for the amount of new stations that are planned from Severn Tunnel junction to Cardiff line.
