Interesting Internet Items

HM government have a system of e-petitions, under which a matter will be raised in parliament if it reaches 100k signatures.   Please consider voting for the idea of a cashless scrap metal trade.

There was an accident at the Foxfield Railway's 2010 autumn gala.   The RAIB bulletin about this accident makes informative reading.

On 3 July, there was a boiler management problem on the 3.5 mile 15" gauge Kirklees Light Railway.   The incident is  the subject of a report by the RAIB.   (I visited this railway a couple of weeks ago, found staff very friendly, steam locos single manned, and the two train operation very slick.)
