It's often said that the modern railway has a touch of the surreal about it, but maybe none more so than this.
The Railchat forum (billed as "The Professional Rail Staff chat site) is currently hotly debating the HS2 project.
The site's members are firmly in the skeptic/anti camp and have backed using as 'slightly more objective" evidence that High speed is highly polluting from none other than 'Transport Watch'.
Those familiar with Transport Watch will know them as the people who've long campaigned against the rail industry and called for the entire network to be torn up and converted into roads.
So, we have a rail staff opponents of HS2 supporting, as 'objective', an organisation that wants to tear up the country's railways.
Turkeys evidently can and do vote for Christmas!
