A new land train has appeared on the fair byways and highways of Torquay. The old train which was trungling round when I first moved down here 10 years ago has been retired and this gleaming, turbo charged monster is carrying excited passengers and their trip of a lifetime, well holiday anyway, round beautiful Torquay. The proud driver stands by his machine while passengers are boarding here on the Harbour side.
Smart isn't it.

If Londoners think their bendy buses are awful and annoying, they should sit behind one of these haha
adds a bit of character to the roads. the orange light is a bit naff though.
I don't know why, but tourist town fake trains/trolleys/cable cars have always annoyed me. I think it has partly to do with the fact that city councils usually buy them in hopes that they will bring life back to their dying town center. So, for a year or two, we see the horribly overpriced fake trolley car trundling through the deserted streets of downtown. After that the funding runs out and the thing sits and gathers dust at the city transit system's yard.
You cynical bunch, my kids and I went on this on a sunny Saturday afternoon and they loved it.
