BBC NEWS | England | North Yorkshire | Rail back in the Dales
Regular train services are returning to Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales for the first time in almost half a century.
I don't normally blog about this type of thing but railways happen to be a passion, as my father worked on them when I was young. He also happens to come from East Yorkshire so that's my excuse :)
I am really pleased for the Wensleydale Railway to get it up and running. The more we can encourage public transport the better. I am a hypocrite because I use my car but at least I admit it. I would love to use railways but it just isn't convenient to do so. If I had a metro style service then I would certainly be more inclined. Ideally, I suppose, I would work at home however I need to see people face to face, and video conferencing (despite it being relatively easy) isn't an option for ntl. Its a shame really.
