Title: Road rail revisited Post by: TonyK on May 31, 2016, 16:41:26 So traffic chaos tonight in Bristol. Not one but two HST power cars were rather gingerly navigating the Lawrence Hill roundabout, with an attendant phalanx of police and escort vehicles. I was fortunate in that I was heading the other way, but traffic was snarled up right along St Philips Way and into Old Market. Alas, I was moving too well to be able to take a picture with my phone.
