On another matter, how do I start a new topic please?

You make no mention of the Greens who did quite well elsewhere, I'd have they would promote rail, if they got a seat that is!

I don't recall that being asked, far less answered,about HS2^▸ (The next High Speed line(s)) and Crossrail

MMM...there are distinct differences in flower colours of the hanging climber over the barrow . In the left pic they are quite deep red ...to the right they appear almost orange. Indeed I don't see amber on traffic lights or on railway signals. When, as a kid, I picked strawbs and rasps for pocket money, the gaffer would shout down the drill at me 'pick clean son, pick clean' the fruit colours didn't jump out at me.
Biggest handicap now are coloured charts, diagrammes and stats charts/population breakdowns are completely lost on me.

Interesting...apparently they were discovered by accident (like many good inventions). I'd be intrigued to learn of peoples' experiences. I'm red/green compromised (lousy at snooker...another reason) have driven cars for 50 accident free years, but am a landscape painter (hobby)so will try a pair of these glasses...though I feel I don't  need them!! I may keep the £70 in my pocket. I do find women's view on colour weird...especially car colours...who cares. Sorry I've wandered off signal recognition.     

You can, of course, get colour-correction glasses and clip on for prescription lenses, for less than £100...company called Pilestone

Ah, cheers...didn't think Dundee, Newtyle and Strathord was appropriate

Out of Curiosity what is DN & S...I'm from Scotland!

Did JJ actually achieve anything as a transport minister?

thanks BNM...most useful

Many thanks...most useful...York/Leeds to Bristol.

Aye...How many peeps were employed by the railway clearing house in days of yore? or indeed now.

Ha...won't be long before Corbyn and crew get their way of course...If indeed you remember the previous incumbent

mmm...very inspiring planters in the sign snap!

Well, The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) in Wirksworth, Derbyshire appears to operate a very successful outfit in an ex Gatwick Express coach in a station siding. No idea how it's staffed, but they attract locals, walkers, cyclists, tourists and trainloads for hot and cold snacks. I receive a free, daily update email from the railway (Just sign up) on progress, specials, vistitors and successes of the engineerium. (all very positive news in these bleak times, and I thank them for it). No doubt like GWSR, it's a very well run operation, largely by dedicated volunteers. I'm sure if a catering officer from GWSR contacted the EVR operation, advice would be forthcoming, to say nothing of a 'behind the scenes tour and a warm welcome) I'm not even a member of the EVR, just a visitor.
