Actually the Daily Telegraph is not too bad. It reported the record run you
quote, that happened two weekends ago, back on 28/5; today's article was
about
the Froggie PM inaugurating the line, which only happened yesterday.
I like the bit about construction of the line being delayed 6 months and
slewed 150 metres to the side, to avoid a nesting eagle.
