The Glimmer Twins

The Glimmer Twins is a bronze sculpture of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, that was unveiled this week in Dartford.

My only criticism is that the sculpture is not obvious from the station. But if you  go over the bridge into the two centre and carry straight on, you should find it.

Beyoncé Funds Metro Service

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Railway Gazette.

This is the first paragraph.

Singer Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour funded an extra hour of operation of the Washington metro at a cost of $100 000, ensuring that fans could get home after bad weather delayed the start of her concert at the FedEx Field stadium.

Reading the whole article, it looks like everyone was a winner and it is to be hoped that it sets a precedent and under similar circumstances, other promoters take similar actions.

I remember a few years ago, Ipswich and Charlton in the League Cup overran badly one evening and we all got back to Ipswich station well after the last train had gone.

But Greater Anglia made sure that everybody got home, even sending a fleet of taxis to Sudbury.
