Here we go again!!!

[POPEYE]

One of the biggest mistakes made was phaseing out the old electric "trolly" busses and replaceing em with diesiels, i believe many other countrys have gone back to electric for their public transport, That would make a difference to the emmisions problem, same for the railways, they cut em back and as a result the roads are crouded with heavy good veh's
(prob get a dig frome the truckers on here) if the rail ways were expanded and all electrified then most freight could be moved by rail, we used to have a large goods yard at fratton with only short haul deliverys from there by smaller trucks, Now it's a McDonalds, a B&Q and several other usual suspects, these days it's all speed, next day delivery, the got to have it now
mentality that goes these days, I'm not saying that life was better on those days but do we really need to live life so f**king fast

I know when i was a kid (back in nineteen hundred and frozen to death) the southern region was electric and when we changed in london going up north it was all steam, still remember the thrill of those big engines, also the trolly buses use to be a pain as the pick up hooks were allways falling off, the conductor (remember them) was always haveing to get this long wooden pole frome under the bus and hook em back on again, especially at the guildhall junction, expect with the technogoly about these days they could devise summat a bit more relyable,
