    Railways. LNER really, but Steam railways.... yeah. Hmm. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being an ex railwayman who can’t ever ignore an interest in current railway matters.

      It'd be best to cut down all the self-sowen trees on the lineside and reduce the total leaf-fall that way. Perhaps the Telegraph could have a campaign for it!

      It might also help if trains stopped dumping some unpleasant substances in the "four foot" and the surrounding area - raw sewage from older train toilets, anybody?

      Simples - cut down the trees. We never had the leaf fall problem when we didn't have huge numbers of trees on the lineside.
