Pier pressure - an seafront aquarium at #Clacton #Essex is closing due to energy costs and "red tape" (the reality being it no longer complies to modern animal welfare requirements and they don't have the resources to update it as has already happened at Colchester Zoo)

A young lad from Mid #Suffolk with the help of a mystery donor has bought an entire electric #train to be restored and preserved and hopefully run as a heritage service between #Clacton #Essex and #London
