The Last Days of Steam

[ffutures]

Just watching a Timeshift programme called The Last Days of Steam on BBC4, very interesting on the technology of steam engines and their post-war importance, and the construction of a new engine today. It's going to be repeated tomorrow

and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in this technology if you can find it as a podcast or on BBC America etc.

Have you caught the BBC series The Tube (about the London Underground) that was on recently? It might still be on iPlayer. It put your local construction work into context for me.

No - but I'll be away for a few days, doubt I'll have a chance to catch it before it goes from iPlayer.
