    Te Huia has just been fitted with technology that stops it from running red lights.
    My word, how wonderful that we have finally installed tested and tried technology that was first used in 1872 into our trains (not here, in Europe). Whoop-de-doo. And it is really, really cheap!

    You mean the loco engineers can now tel the difference between red
    and green?? Now all they have to do is find the horn handle as they
    come to a level crossing.
