A Short Video; Good News for Short Lines

Nice to see that some prosperity is returning to an area which needs it. Also notice the old geezer who was against the line reopening. He wants the land 'returned to the people', and was arguing the toss on a bogus environmental standpoint, completely missing the fact that the railway's re-opening is far greener than a road-based alternative. And I bet if he actually asked the people he was advocating the land should be returned to, they'd almost certainly tell him that they'd prefer the jobs and economic prosperity reopening the line creates rather than the ability to wander about in a field whilst they have no job. Fine for him to say 'not in my back yard' when he's past retirement age, but he obviously doesn't give a crap about anyone else and especially those who are young and actively looking for work. They shouldn't have given that selfish man any airtime. What a self-centred old git.

I liked how the old gentleman stated that "the rails should be removed," and THEN legal action must be taken. In that order, I presume?
 
"Notice the inappropriate dress worn by the reporter...."
off topic Those dress's are being sold down under.
It's nice to old lines open again.
 
Inappropriate for a report from a filthy railyard, yes, and I believe she later changed into a yellow blouse and long pants, but perfectly appropriate for instigating a tunnel inspection I suppose.
 
Well my report card gives her 10 out of 10 for quality reporting and +1 for presentation.
I had to go back & read the text written underneath the video.
Very nice dress. Quite demure but ooo la la :o
Nightime and headlights blazing would have added to the excitement.
In accordance with modern safety regulations of course.
Exquisetely beautiful hair colour has Molly. It seemed natural too. ^^

Some one should tell that old feller that we won the war because of our excellent troops and railroads in the 40's......but something tells me he is aware and was there at the time
