I thought you were obsessed with BRUTEs.
Incorrect. Beasts & Monsters.
Brutes are just thugs.

Did each trolley have a number?
I actually gave them names.
A bit like the old Great Western did with its broad gauge engines - names and no numbers?
No, not like that at all. I can't remember any Great Western locos called "Fluffy" and "Cuddles".
Well, they did have one called Myrtle and another called Lily, but no, they did tend to go for more macho names like Slaughter and Thunderer.
When it comes to loco names on the LNER, I always think Pretty Polly takes some beating for naffness.

Are you a train spotter Notty ?
I always use the train when I know the day will end with me in no fit state to drive (maybe driverless cars will change that!). My biggest problem with them is the cost. For short journeys, no problem, £8 return to Leeds or Sheffield brilliant. Longer journeys are generally a rip-off, and in no way encouraging me to use them more frequently.Not remotely. I like trains as a form of transport very much, when they are run well and in the interests of all. Let's call it public transport and then make it so.
