@UKaflyer.... dear God, Flying Scotsman! If you want to stir up endless controversy over here, that’s the magic words. Personally, I rather like it but I could think of plenty of other things that could have been done with the money.
But, FLYING SCOTSMAN! My good wife, who last got on a train in about 1986, recognises it. My two-year-old granddaughter knows the name, AND knows it isn’t Thomas. My neighbour, in her 80s and frail, badgered her son to take her to see it, last time out. Boneheaded “enthusiasts” obstruct the tracks in hundreds to see it.
