Lineside rubbish is a disgrace

These days it’s the overgrown vegetation that’s disgraceful. Sometimes it looks like you’re travelling on a garden railway!

Sadly, it seems to be the same almost everywhere you go these days. People just don’t care anymore. I fulminate when I walk through my hometown and often see young people, mainly, throw their empty plastic bottles and food wrappers on the pavement. I’m a very outspoken septuagenarian and gladly point out the error of their ways, usually to be rewarded with an invitation to “go away”. As for the video, I’m a lifelong steam fan, but I have to concede that the Westerns certainly had something.
