RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I just think someone is trying to get a free ride behind Scotsman! the bit that gets me is ‘NRM and London Midland Trains have been approached to comment’ just as well they didn’t phone me as they probably wouldn’t get a word in over my laughing! looking at one of the videos linked to a Pendolino also passed through on the down as it arrived so that would have blocked the view of anyone watching from platform 4/5/6 too!

"It's an absolute shocker," "You'd have thought the organisers would have made sure no other trains pulled up at the same time. They knew what time the Flying Scotsman was arriving." 😐 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2023 It’s the story that keeps on giving if you scroll to other related story’s there’s more, someone in a play park missed filming it as it ran early so they couldn’t get their phone out in time, they even have a ‘rundown of events’ section of Scotsman’s visit but it’s a harrowing read! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 'Domestic' train driver? Are the drivers of Scotsman foreigners or do London Midland drivers also clean the toilets and empty the bins on the train? Platform 1 - that's the shorter platform for local services to Birmingham - unless they had parked an eight coach unit it still looks like they could have stood at the south end of the station and seen the smoke, or was it simply no-one wanted to stand in the sun? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I see what they mean about it being difficult to see, I think the Scotsman might be here somewhere in the image, it's hard to see it between the gap in the rails. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/moment-flying-scotsman-pulls-nuneaton-27095716 But I am thinking entitled people with video camera expecting the world to revolve around them. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
