Ghost trains (again)

Post by Kevo00 »

Not sure that this old favourite is actually in the news again, but the BBC have put up a video on their site about Ghost Trains, probably shot for the purpose of filling some time up on the News channel late at night or at the weekends. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18644343

Strangely enough, I just came across this on BBC news myself - after having to wait another 2 minutes for the bloomin' ads to finish playing.

They're "closing" that bus that ran once a week from Ealing Broadway even though no line will actually close. It is a farcical arrangement!

No ghost trains ever run, except a train here which was driven by gravity, and madmen :o
(Both are stopped by an employee which jump into the train and manages to stop it :) )

Maybe they should replace it with a 390 for the three people that actually want to use it? :wink:

(Kev was making possibly the most obvious reference of the decade).
