And they say that's progress, awful photo of an awful train and awful ganterys and wirers, give me a shot of a steam train without those ugly electric cables anyday.

Even the old signal ganterys look much nicer than these.
Horrible electric trains, how much did that rubbish cost BR?

Dunna knock it too much chaps... it's kept us in a job for these last twenty three years!!

Their just a modern version of trams. What you see is horrible, the seen of those wirers spoil any shots of a steam train.
