    For all you Railway and Transport enthusiasts out there we are proposing to make a wee change that might appeal to you next week from Tuesday for the week.

"On Christmas Eve there came a general exodus to the seaside and every resort within reach of the city crowds was thronged," it wrote. "By train and car thousands departed for the South Coast resorts ... the new toll bridge over the Logan Bridge reaped a golden harvest, and two traffic policemen were constantly on duty to supervise the unending rush of cars - and incidentally to guard against possibility of a raid by bandits intent on laying

    violent hands on the toll fees, estimated at well over 1000 pounds for the three days," the Herald continued. And, much like this year, many people turned to camping along the beach, with "canvas houses, replete with every comfort, even to electric light, separate sleeping compartments, and spring mattresses".
