Folks,

Dux:

We did our best and it just wasn't good enough. The wabbits deserved better. Wabbits are prolific and I am sure that enough of their nest mates survived to provide us with even more widdle cottontails in due course. As you would know few bunnies survive, even those unassisted by us. Such is life. Nature can be a cruel nursemaid.

Now and then we can try to beat the odds knowing full well that if we did on a large scale it would be a total disaster. I wonder though would their demise have been any better clutched in the cruel claws of a cat or one of those Cooper's hawks I saw circling last week. I dunno. It is Nature's way. Cat, hawk and wabbit, they all have their equal place in nature.

The unabridged version of the 900,000 page HWH Handbook in 87 fine Corinthian leather bound volumes, laboriously hand stitched under water by virgins has this to say about Lime Street Station Liverpool.

"Lime Street was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service.

Lime Street was voted the equal worst of the 20 busiest UK railway stations in a 2007 poll but was voted "Station of the Year 2010" at the National Rail Awards thanks in part to a recent refurbishment."

"Refurbishment" gives us very little information. Perhaps they just washed the windows upstairs, emptied the ash trays and swept the floor? Did you spy any rolling stock of interest?
