Ingleton Viaduct is a very impressive piece of civil engineering that dominates the village. What impressed me more was discovering that it and the railway it carried were put out of business by a dispute between the rival railway companies involved in building it. Neither would allow the other's trains on their part of the track, they built separate stations (one each side of the bridge) & required passengers to walk between the two (not using the bridge!), timed trains to avoid making connections and kept it up until an alternative route was built. Ingleton Viaduct is still closed today.
Clearly there's no point in tit-for-tat over a single word, but I do think that calling this ridiculous waste of money & effort "stupidity" is nearer the mark than "bravado". Perhaps another word? Nealc 15:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
