At the time the channel tunnel became a serious project, the GCML would have turned into a quite valuable asset due to Watkin's foresight. It would have been a very logical part of a UIC loading gauge corridor between the North and the continent.

I really like the Netherlands for the reasons stated above and especially for their cheap day rovers. 39€ gets you an off-peak day rover for train, metro, tram and bus (called "Holland Travel Ticket") in the whole country (available at every NS ticket machine and booking office) and there are...

The swedish "Dagen H" was a very convenient excuse to follow the contemporary philosophy of a car friendly city and realize the plans of getting rid of the trams (the decision for to abandon the Stockholm network was made in 1957). Gothenburg needed to keep the trams running untill they could...
