    Highest point on Swiss transport network without paying extra

    Not the highest one, but the cable car and train from Lauterbrunnen to Mürren is worth a ride. It is quite beautiful. And someone mentioned the schilthorn , it is included in swisspass and the bond museum is worth a visit.

    LNER Livery

    I know the chances are slim, but how about the blue GNER livery use on the 800s. just change the words GNER to LNER . I think blue quite matches this type of train. The southeastern 395 in blue did look quite smart. I did think blue will quite match the 800s

    Films you've seen/film discussion

    For me, the most harrowing movie I ever watched is The boy in stripped Pajamas. War is tragic and the loss of innocent young souls shocked me so much. Despite that similar events (different in scales) did happen elsewhere in the world... What's yours?

    Where and when is the first colour light aspect signal in Great Britain? I mean the 2,3 or 4 aspect signals. I assume colour light aspect comes along with track circuit so I may wish to know also where and when is the first operational track circuit in Britain.
