D'ya get a ride off the hower or just get to look at it? I've seen it before if it's the latter.

It’s not a bloody roller coaster

But, imagine the thrill as you travel at 28mph over a flat surface on a good track...

In those circumstances, I'm suspecting it's primitive and reliable but unspectacular

Not booking a ticket just to go look at a train man

 

[Man About Town]

Not getting my money, George Stephenson was a plagiariser in the same vein as Edison, probably a mag anarl. Some historical facts for yous there kids FTM.

Tanfield Railway is where the cool kids go for north east industrial railway heritage, always thought The Rocket was shite and Stephenson was a shit bag who stole Trevethicks thunder.
