We closed Abbeville Road in Clapham to cars for a few hours today & something truly radical & transformative happened. We saw a community grow. People came out to chat, laugh, listen, gossip, eat, drink & share. Just proves that streets are for people not just for cars.

Abbeville Road in Clapham was closed to cars today as a one-day trial and the results were... incredible. Basically unrecognisable

Lowest cost is the major driver of decision making by the DfT - hence the sub optimal seats, too few carriages…you name it. Prone reason why they should be removed from a position of control so that GBR can be empowered.

Dead simple: it costs more so they won’t do it. Lowest cost to them is all that matters - not the operator and end user.

I’m having a clean & polish day on my 7.25in gauge ‘Sandy River 2-4-2 ‘Peggy’, sitting there on shed. This is my view for lunch in the shade under the trees at Weston Park MPD. Birds singing, sunshine, a nice sarnie and passing trains: today is a good day!

The fruits of my labours thus far today, cleaning and polishing my ‘Sandy River’ 2-4-2 at Weston Park. Hope to meet a few Green Signals here when we get it running in the next couple of weeks.

Actually, it’s a brass casting and AM makes his using stainless steel - they are essentially a welded fabrication. He is making me one, though…!
