railway

Lo
there is traffic on the road, hundreds of cars, and trucks.
The long diversion at the building site on the motorway has changed sides, now the other side of the road will be dug up and resurfaced.
Ten kilometres of tight traffic moving at a steady sixty, almost bumper to bumper. Cars of all kinds, all valuations and all classes.
Ten minutes of purgatory for the impatient owner of a fast car.
It is only ten kilometres long.
A five minute delay
A disaster for those who are impatient.
It is the motorised journey to work.
Think of returning
to the use of the railway.
