Distancing, how do we do that?
If this pandemic is to continue how are we to beat it in the concept of social distancing when today it was seen in the U.K that it was not working?
A great revolution of transport adaption has to be started, but governments will not want to spend the money and Mr. Johnson is not promising much hope to us in saying there may never be a cure, so why are people going to work unprotected?
Air travel may continue with the use of larger aircraft and the Airbus A380 might see a second life as the right kind of potential isolation aircraft? Other wise nothing that we have is viable and the costs will not cover the business!
The world is now in some really dire straights as a second wave in China, S-Korea is breaking out and still there is no unity working together to solve this situation, while many people are ignorant to what this undiscriminating virus is doing to humanity?

What is happening to our Railways?
Commonality of Stock?
The British government claims that by 2020 all old stock and the Diesel fleet will be gone forever, but is this the whole truth or just a claim? One does fear that our railway stock will become so similar as our aviation has in recent years, that all will be so boring and there will be a loss of interest to filming the same trains?
Much is promised as each year their continues to be a hike in the fares, Wi-Fi on all trains, new track and signalling, new card reading machines and improvements of various types? One has to wonder will some of these rail companies end up like Carillion and bankrupt the nation of many promised projects?
Electric battery powered trains will be one future, if they work and so we will have to wait and see? The other interesting thing is that some companies are introducing locomotive hauled trains again, they claim for training purposes but perhaps not all the new stock is really working as well as hoped!

Trawlers. Part-Two.
Issues.
When we talk about the fishing industry today many people get upset about the lack of stocks and the problems of overfishing. Yet every nation that has a coast or large lakes will have fishing families that rely on the industry in one form or another.
People need to sit back and do some research into the history of the industry, one hundred years ago the traditional fish supper fed the masses of the working classes in Britain and Ireland and perhaps in a few other countries too.
The word sustainable is big amongst those who know very little about livelihoods and the dangers of working the seas and lakes with any kind of boats. Many fisher people have been drowned on a lake with a line and hook, apart from severe weather at sea.
