These are two AI applications which have some positive value, in one case healthcare and the other a new angle on the railway hobby. But to extrapolate from these to say that you arre supportive of AI is a bit like saying that you support nuclear fission. It all depends what it's used for...

Shieldhill

Not that one. This was a test run. It preceded the first trips of 10000/10001 (which might be what you are thinking about) by more than twenty years.

On which route was the first main line trip made by a standard gauge diesel locomotive in the UK?

Ravelrig Halt

Killearn

I think Rockall's a bit severe. St Kilda would be fair. There are some houses to choose from there, and space for a few sheep. And it was apparently regarded at one time as the penitentiary of the Hebrides. The MoD has a canteen there, which sounds very suitable. I don't think Tesco...

The Irish? Scots? Welsh? "Foreigners" - i.e. anyone with a non-Anglo Saxon sounding name? Or of course there's always Jewry to fall back on. It's anyone who can be picked out as "Them", identifiably different to "Us".

Greenloaning (Somewhat like greenwashing, I thought. Lending carbon credits perhaps?)

The intermediate supports of the bridge that carries the Brighton Main Line over the South Western Main Line at Battersea look like military trestling to me, but does anyone know if that's what they are?

In that case let's hope that schools teach the next generation to develop critical thinking above all else, or there's no hope.

Highlandman

That may be true, but somebody gave it the concept of an SRRS to start with and guidance as to what to include. AI doesn't invent ideas in that way. So it's somebody's weird idea turned into a narrative by AI, with a (rather good) simulated 1950s voice over some not very relevant photographs...

I like "an oil-film of truth". That's exactly right. O.S Nock's "Britain's Railways at War" (1971) doesn't mention a "Strategic Reserve Railway System" at all. What it does say is that a Railway Technical Committee was formed in 1937 to report on the measures needed to keep traffic moving...
