As has been said before, all this (including masks, etc) will only "end" when the population realise that they are being brainwashed by the Government and start refusing to comply with restrictions en masse, but if things like YouGov polls are anything to go by we are still a long way off that...

While that's certainly an issue for Australia and New Zealand, the UK (or any other European country for that matter) is not aiming for Zero Covid (publicly, at least!), so as long as we reach the sort of vaccination figures achieved by Israel, we should be able to open up fully...

By diagram, it should work this later: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H12601/2021-06-01/detailed MARK

I'm fairly sure that only 68010 is cleared to run at present. MARK

You mean just like the vast majority of other vaccinations that adults have (other than the flu jab)?? ;) Seriously, before Covid came along 90% of the population wouldn't consider going out of their way to do anything "for the greater good" of society unless it was also of direct, tangible...

It's working Tunstead to West Thurrock today, but that one runs via the MML rather than the WCML unfortunately. MARK

It was only ever an 'as required' STP working - ballast for Carlisle has recently been coming from Redcar instead (nothing by rail this week from any source, so the stockpile must be OK) MARK 1622251060 As if by magic... 6C89 -...

Another three weeks to check make sure the "flattened curve" doesn't raise up from the dead, zombie style? ;) MARK
