Col. The so called expansion gap between the rail ends appears to have been
done away with on our local line. And the rails have been welded together.
When this was first done I did wonder how the tracks would remain straight
in very hot weather.

I see we have this problem again, and the heat hasn't even peaked yet!
I don't intend this post to be a whinge against our railways, so I will
ask
this question, what happens to the rails in other countries that have
routinely far higher summer temps that we do, the US for example?

If that's true, there're absolute pillocks :-)

Well, when all our hard earned cash goes towards the bloody 'Royal Family'
instead of something useful such as transport, what else can us 'Brits'
expect?



Royal Family? Nah, peanuts. Uneccesary wars however, are another matter!

Unneccesary? Don't get sucked in by the Media.
Peace will come one day... we just keep bombing the Bullies and Dictators,
then peace on Earth. I can't wait. Think of all those poor Iraq people. At
least it won't happen again, even if some were sacrificed during the
bombing, like Jesus died for peace?, if you're into that.
Think .
