The Bridge at Pont Briwet


By Keith Lucas, 2012-03-29

This is the Pont Briwet bridge near Penhryndeudraeth on the Cambrian Coast Line. Network Rail and Gwynedd Council are inviting quotes for a new structure. The cost is likely to be 20 million. So, if you have a construction company here is a good opportunity for you. (Steam Railway Magazine, No. 399).


BTW you will also find my crosswords in this magazine - unashamedly a plug.

Amtrak Provides Interstate Bus Diversion


By Keith Lucas, 2012-03-28

I am really gutted. For two years I have been planning a trip to the States for our 30th wedding anniversary which is to include an Amtrak journey from Chicago to San Francisco with a two week stay in Colorado. The highlight of the journey was to be the climb from Denver through the spectacular Rocky Mountains to Glenwood Springs. Amtrak informed me yesterday that Union Pacific are doing some maintenance work and now we will make the journey on a bus on a Interstate freeway. Yuck, trust my luck as I cannot change the dates of the vacation.
