Hi Joan!

Thanks for the card! Must remember to post yours sometime! vbg.

I'll tell you: apart from the fact I only boot ME these days to update defs,
apply patches etc, I've been spending time on the rail network! When I
ventured back onto it for the first time in many years late last year I
became aware that most of what was fab about the Underground had been
scrapped in the meantime! So I've been going round trying to see what's
left, while I still can. This also touches on the interest I've had for many
years in the abandoned stations - you know, WWII posters still up, that sort
of thing. And, of course, they don't do tours anymore. Not sure what to do
about that, yet.

In the course of researching these matters I've become aware of Steam Tours
running out of the London termini. What a sight, express steam locomotives
pulling eight or ten coach trains into Kings Cross/Paddington/Victoria!

about 2 months prior to SP1.
