If a metro system has any above-ground operation, though, a major disadvantage of catenary comes into play: the damn things blow down in high winds!Which has the unfortunate consequence that it's not even safe to operate a diesel train through the site. Which is one of the reasons why the string falling down north of Milton Keynes the other day caused quite so much disruption (you lucky reverse commuter, Fytton!). |

My wife has one -- or more like 3 or 4 -- she just updated to the latest and greatest. She's our family shutterbug.Even if I owned one myself, I'd be unlikely to carry it with me most of the time. Seems like many of the posters here travel with their camera at the ready. I'm just not that way. To me photo taking just gets in the way of the actual experience. I'll never understand people who will go to a live event and then watch the entire affair through the screen on their videocamera. |
