    Beautiful building, yes, but … even if it were fully restored ( which would be nice ) what can one do with it?
    We’ve discussed the problems of coach-travel into & out of central London already, & solutions seem there none, unless a really original idea appears.

    As for the Bloomberg article on electric traction for road vehicles … all very well, but the real problem is paying for it.
    SEE ALSO: The linked article in “L-R’s” sidebar … “The Electric vehicle revolution will be dirty” – please take the time to read it …
