Can I enquire as to why you didn't post this in the existing easter works thread?

I liked the "most popular stories" bit on the right of that article :lol:

There is always engineering work at easter and there is always complaints and media circuses following it. It tires me, it really does. Perhaps some clever bod, who thinks he knows it all, will come up with tracks that need no maintenance on the basis that it doesn't rust and is frictionless for the purposes of wear, but not for trains to brake.

"RF News" is not an actual member but an automated RSS Feed linked to the BBC website.
He or she is not clever enough to post in existing threads.

HHF> You can win extra "smugness points" if you can post a rail story from the BBC that has been missed by RF News

perhaps there should be a thread specifically designed for this maybe?

worth a thought, no?
