Why are there not more trains up UK mountains? Why are there not more cafes on the tops. Don't get me wrong, I like walking up mountains and enjoying nowt but a lonely trig point and a lovely 360 view but sometimes I just feel like taking a train up a mountain and going to a cafe instead. The lack of both does us a great disservice. Y Wyddfa has one and Cairngorm has one and the Eiger even has a tunnel through it but I think we need more balance and put these things on at least half of our hills and mountains. They have them in all the flat parts of the country so why not bung them up our lovely mountains.
Other things like motorways and landfill sights are far uglier so that's a good reason why we should. We've got lots of paths which we could replace with railways. If walkers don't like the trains, they could always just pretend they are not there and walk on the tracks and occasionally dive out of the way. Someone else can pay for, build and maintain the things like. I just want to rock up and ride.
We could even put gyms and climbing walls up there too so we can get our exercise in conveniently without having to touch anything ghastly like moss and that. Sometimes I get up there and think it would it be great if there was a cinema here because I can't wait to get back down to civilisation before watching a film so that's a good idea too.
All these old-school bare mountain top people have been gatekeeping and monopolising our mountains for far too long and its not fair to the train riders. It wouldn't be a big deal, or even worth mentioning as nobody would notice if they were a long way away doing something else. It's only minimal damage. Anyway walkers erode footpaths so they should all stay at home anyway.
Sorry, just couldn't help myself.
