The first train on the new and much hyped SL1 (Slow Speed 1) service has just arrived at the remote Brew Street dockland location somewhere in North Somerset.
A former London Underground tube train has been repurposed, and because there is no electricity to power it, the little diesel mechanical locomotive on the extreme left pulled the train on its 86 hour journey from somewhere near Cockfosters - much of it under the cover of darkness.
The harebrained scheme instigated by The Ministry of Miserable Transport to rejuvenate deprived parts of The West Country, is unlikely to be a success, for the train ran empty with no media interest whatsoever, even though there was free moonshine and pickled winkles on offer. Not even Nasal Nigel is to be seen, and he loves hanging around on the final train of the evening to Hatton Cross playing with his slightly sticky TT gauge Flying Scotsman in the company of slightly sticky Adenoidal Andrew.
And finally, Bob Geeza Cat is after some milk, and hasn’t even noticed the arrival of the train.
