abstract:In the 1950s the LeTourneau company developed several overland trains, essentially oversized semi-trailer trucks that could travel over almost any terrain. Their intention was to be able to handle logistics needs without being dependent on local road or rail systems, allowing them to operate in back-country areas.
But while people buying an old one-day pink travel card could use it on the buses, Tube and overland rail, many train companies refuse to accept the equivalent pay-as-you-go on Oyster.
