    If you think of a whole-railway cost and imagine running, say, a six coach train with either a steam loco or diesel hauling it, almost all the costs are identical. P/way, C&W, signalling, the basic business costs - everything is the same. Only...

    In my 40 years as a railwayman I've never seen the line side vegetation so bad, and now so tinder dry too. I get it that Network Rail under the cosh on costs so veg management has suffered; but sparks from trains aren't limited to steam...
