I came across this documentary about Albania's railway network. A beautiful looking country

I went googling to see if I could find it on sky ( no luck) but they have made them available to watch online for free https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/japanrailway/?type=tvEpisode&

I came across this on facebook, a lovely collection of Irish steam pictures. https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/search&search=Neville+Stead+Collection&category_id=106

strange, the video is still working for me. I know some of the crossings have extra cameras at reg plate level, I do hope they find the plonker and prosecute.

Very unlikely to see it down here this side of the new year, May railtour maybe.
