For those interested, when I was a lad we lived next door to the old colliery railway. Talking to an old railway guy he told me that the width of the tracks was decided by a horses bum. The tracks built to take the existing horse drawn rail wagons from mine workings. The width being decided by the shafts that horses had to fit between.
The distance between the Roman chariot wheels are almost the same width, as train lines of today |

I was up near Tile Hill Station the other week and quite a few people in that area commute by train - but to Birmingham not Coventry.

Hi Midland Red,
Whilst on my way home, I caught this class 66 heading your way with a load of Range-Rovers, about 3pm.
