Glad to know we'll reach 100 years of the General Strike next year, the making of the BBC in trying to be impartial, with potentially the opposite effect taking place instead with whatever happens that year. History can be like that.

It took between seven and seventeen years, but I’ve visited 2589 railway stations (and got to within 500m of three mothballed ones). I’m sure there was a Loco Motive for it. Here’s a photo of me smirking at Leven’s promenade.
