HM government have a system of e-petitions, under which a matter will be raised in parliament if it reaches 100k signatures.   Please consider voting for the idea of a cashless scrap metal trade.

There was an accident at the Foxfield Railway's 2010 autumn gala.   The RAIB bulletin about this accident makes informative reading.
