... but CO2 affects the whole planet.
I'm not sure the CO2 coming from a tiny shuttle train along a pier will make much a difference to the planet!

Precisely, - and there's no excuse for continuing to create CO2 where there is a simple alternative that was used there between 1890 and 1978. Daft decisions to replace electric traction with diesel are unlikely to be allowed in the future.I think the point is trying to reduce CO2 emissions wherever possible. It all adds up.
Thank you.
It looks like four designs, each shown in three liveries, so the council are being a bit liberal with the definition of "twelve" there!
Having now seen them all, I think personally that 1A and 1B are the best looking of the lot. Does anyone else think so?
.If you walk along Southend-on-Sea’s High Street, towards the sea, your eye will be drawn in a straight line towards the longest pleasure pier in the world. Standing for over a century it extends 2158 metres (1.341 miles) into the Thames Estuary, and is a well loved and recognised symbol of Southend and the pleasures of the English seaside.The Museum is located in the the Old Pier Workshops underneath the train station at the shore end. To locate the Museum entrance, you should go into the Pier Reception and then walk to the right of the railway entrance where it is signposted.
Thanks. Your description of the museum location ties in with the workshop shown in Quail, so that is some hope. Presumably with a one train service the other train is stabled at the shore station?
