Nearly 50 years ago, plans were published to scrap many of London’s famous red buses to replace them with something that could have become just as famous – a monorail network.
The scheme was proposed by Brian Waters, and endorsed by Desmond Plummer, leader of the Conservative opposition at the GLC. It would have seen four large loops built above the streets of London carrying the monorail services.

Much like the one in Wuppertal. But their's appears to run over the river.

I’m hoping to have a ride on that if we get over to Bonn to visit my son anytime soon.

My garden last night.

The last time we had snow in November was 2010, it didn't thaw until March

I stuck it on this when I owned it.

Flogged it to a bloke in work around twenty years back. He's had it ever since and having put about 150k miles on it left it in the company car park some years back.

His daughter asked me today if it would start . :shock:

Now, if you could package up the bike and send it, I'm pretty sure I'll find a way to register it here :D :D :D

He lives Essex, I'm in Kent and we work in Wapping so no surprise. If it was ridden my a bloke who makes Bilbo Baggins look tall, then that's Rob. If it was ridden by a wind-swept, rugged, impossibly handsome biker with piercing blue eyes and an abundance of sexual allure, that'll be me. :thumbup:

This pic was posted on a Facebook group, it's taken in the early 80's at Edmonton Green, heading towards Tottenham. The Ford Escort on the left is my first car, so it's me driving.
