Quite right Syd, I agree with you, but she was too polite, said nothing and didn't take offence.

I finally got round to watching this prog last night. Two things surprised me: Royal Scot being allowed to set off on a gauging run to Pickering when engineering works were still in progress down the line, causing a delay which might have been serious; and the boilersmith replacing a fusible plug while the boiler was still full of hot water. Never heard of that being done before!
