So perhaps the no-tree lobby is correct in this case. I could be provocative and ask how the heritage railway line will reach zero carbon emissions(I assume they burn coal). Perhaps a tree lined cycle route instead would be nice!
=======================
the heritage railway movement is a big part of many peoples lives - young and old.
i am pleased they are not being shut down.
however , much more CO2 is produced by the many thousands who visit the railways and by those who travel to watch the mainline specials - which are indeed special .
there is talk of a green coal - mixing in the like of avacado kernels .
I seem to have a bag of that right here!
Except mine's made from olive stones. And disappointingly, the stuff inside the bag is black, not green
