The above was a test video.  Please let us know if you have any success with it.  I know that others have tried to load video on to this site with little success.  The best way, it seems is to send your video to YouTube and give a reference so that e can create  link.  Many thanks to Mick and Ian for trying.  I think we may need to delete this to avoid giving us problems with our normal content.  KJ

Nice and crisp and clear an everyday scene then. Just one passenger awaits an up service nobody else in sight, a bus crosses the bridge. Copyright John Cornelius
