This is the highly vaunted London Rail index! Its messy, crappy! Yes I know – but its better than nothing!
Main index:Every single post that's been published thrown into the same single column just for sheer confusion! Missing or deleted posts included too - gosh there's just so many of these!
Sub categories:More confusion to make ones day! Actually these are hopefully designed to help whether a certain category is needed.
(Or maybe not needed even because the posts in question may well have been deleted!)
