    LU strikes cause postal issues?

    Post is mostly moved at night, and very little of it is in central London where the "chaos" was. Seems like an ass covering measure but is stuck me as funny.

    Arriva trains improvements

    A flippant answer would be they have spare staff from the Cambrian and possibly a spare unit or two?:D But I'm impressed with all my recent travels and there have been a lot.

    I believe NASA has cost $600Bn since 1958. In 1966 it was 4% of the GDP and that was the highest. ESA cost's 4Bn Euro a year, divided between all the members. Although we are talking massive amounts, given it's accomplishments it's peanuts.

    Questions from a 12 year old.

    Following my nephews visit I have 2 questions: How many unstaffed stations are there? How much does it cost to power the infrastructure (sigs/points/third rail OHL/lights etc) without any trains operating? Imagine a Christmas day without any traffic. And.......go! :D
