A Plea From Michael Portillo

In the latest episode of his Great British Coastal Railways – Helensburgh to Connel, Michael Portillo made a plea to train makers.

Travelling along the scenic West Highland Line, he asked train manufacturers to build a train with a glass roof.

I’m sure a manufacturer would be happy to build a train with a glass roof if a train company (or the government) were willing to pay for a non-standard train.

I have suggested to a friend in a train-manufacturing company, that they do a visualisation on the computer and publicise it. You never know what might happen. If AlexanderDennis can do it on a bus, it might be possible on a train. Certainly, it’s been done by Stadler in Switzerland.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
