      She's been the Princess Royal since 13 June 1987! Whatever her title, she does what must be at times a tiring and frankly boring job extremely well. I've long suspected that she is the solid shoulder on which members of the royal family know they have have a good cry and no-one will know.

    The horrible Hitachi heaps just go to show how well engineered and designed the 125's were - better seats, better comfort, nicer lighting, more reliable. British railways are in a mess, and GWR are one of the best providers out there at present.
