    Intercity Push/Pull Railtour

    I think the online criticism was nefarious to say the least. All I heard on the tour with 9000 was high praise and friendliness. Railtours is a small pond and there is a lack of bookings

    Class 22 New Build

    England set to drop facemasks and social distancing on July 19

    Time soon to start agrgressively lecturing those pro mask persisters in none reusable masks for destroying the environment after then. No conscience whatsovere. Cos those will be the ones now going off on one every time they see a disabled child who can't wear one. Revenge is a 50, best cold...
