Planes and trains

Radio Wales reported this morning that they have found that Emiliano Sala's pilot on his fatal flight was not certified to fly at night. The evidence piles up that, astonishingly in the case of a multi-million pound transfer, corners were cut to provide the cheapest possible transport.

On a happier note, a priest, whose mother used to run a pub in Lancashire, and who used to pull the occasional pump up there, has volunteered to perform a traditional blessing of the ale on tonight's Real Ale Train on the Llangollen Railway. He may even use the original church Latin. Although I am normally dismissive of high church dogma and ceremonial, this appeals to my love of the traditional.

Other special Welsh railway lines are of course available.
