200,000 seems a bit high. I know the reason they built the underground railway (the tube) was because of congestion. > http://www.motorhoming.com/need_december_2005.htm Nice. Reminds me, last Wednesday I was waiting for a train to work at Clapham Junction station (a busy interchange in London). My train was delayed. Why? Toot toot. A steam train! It came past about a foot from my nose. Pretty cool. I think it was the Orient Express or something. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
