There’s little business case these days but I wish train operators would build more (or drastically simplify) car-carrying motorail trains.

At this point it feels like the heavy traffic past Stonehenge is part of our national cultural identity. What is a liberty is English Heritage getting the road that goes beside the monument closed and charging an absolute fortune for ticket
