I hope the passengers had 5-point safety harnesses and non-spill cups.

This thread reminds me of something else. A recent eMail from East Coast pointed me to two particular videos on their YouTube, in this particular video it appears one of their trains is going bang road ("Wrong Direction Move" - Thanks TRC666), see at the 1:18 mark. ::

The other video was this one.

It must be a conspiracy. You are not allowed to view it outside the Uk.

Bi-Di only goes as far as the Border plus the Grantshouse to Innerwick bit.

EastCoastTrains just uploaded a new video to YouTube relating their new Flying Scotman service. See this link to view it on YouTube. Made for quite interesting viewing :cool:

I love the passenger reactions, all along the lines of, 'This is my normal train, what's all the fuss about?' And the woman who's pleased with her cake at the end.

Unfortunately there is no return Flying Scotsman service - quite bizarre.

Probably closer to the truth than you realise - I was on a Newcastle-Bristol flight a few years ago where, upon arrival, we were shepherded into the International arrivals hall.

Hopefully the video will be on YouTube at some point, I cannot stand the ITV player as it hardly works for me (I keep getting 'internet connection' problems, and with a search online, I'm apparently not the only one!)
