The charity plans to make the site accessible to the public

UK: Heighington Station [1827] – First Train Platform in World! (19.1.2026)

Last year Heighington Station, which dates to back to 1827 and was part of the first passenger railway to use steam trains in the world, was bought by the charity Friends of the Stockton and Darlington Railway.

The group’s chair Niall Hammond said the excavation of a small train platform located near the site was planned.

He said it was presumed it was the “original for the building” because it looked the right size and shape.

He said plans were still in the early stages, but that the group hoped to attract lots of volunteers to the dig over the summer.

Hammond said the platform, which is next to the station, was “tiny” and had cobbles.

He said ideally the team would find a “Georgian penny” at the bottom of the platform during the dig which would confirm its age.

South Devon Railway: Buckfastleigh Station & Steam Train! (1.8.2024)

A Summer Fayre is currently being held within the grounds of Buckfast Abbey – administered by the Church. The priests of the Catholic Church have worked-out a way to introduce a pay-wall which benefits their greed whilst seemingly acting in accordance with the wishes of the monks. Yes – the Catholic Church only cares for greed, political dominance and temporal power. and this is why the Catholic Church has started charging for parking, an initiative enforced by specially hired night-club Bouncers who stand menacingly at the gates – demanding to “see” the tickets – proving the £6 parking fee had been paid! This dichotomy exemplifies the difference which exists between the Christian Church and Christian monastic establishment. The priests want money (as do the lay-people who set-up their stalls) – the monks (who could not be seen anywhere) – want inner tranquillity and outer peace!

My Theory About Electric Cars! (15.3.2023) 

I suspect that the US is preparing for Zionist Israel to launch a massive land grab by militarily invading what is left of Palestine – and expelling all the Palestinians so that they become ‘Refugees’. If everyone in the West is driving ‘electric cars’ – then it will not matter if OPEC announces an embargo over this action! The US will protect Zionist Israel from all military retaliation and will not allow any Israeli citizen to be prosecuted for War Crimes or Crimes Against Humanity! Any help offered to these displaced Palestinians will be severely limited by the US and controlled by the threat of sanctions and military action. The treatment meted out to the Palestinians (because they are not ‘White’) – will be very different to that received by the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis – vicious criminals who are currently being assisted by the US, UK and EU! Remember, the UN voted to declare Zionist ideology to be a form of ‘White Supremacy’ practiced primarily by ‘White’, ‘secular’ and ‘middle-class’ people of Jewish ethnicity. It is a fascist ideology also supported by the Christian right-wing and far-right.
