You're a bit too in-England for me to meet with you, alas! If you pop up to Scotland, say hi though.

Weren't flailing were we?

That wasn't encouragement to. Network Rail nearly cancelled a few charters last year due to flailers.

People who hang out of carriage windows. Obviously it's dangerous.

I produced for 46115 'Scots Guardsman' taking over from 86259 'Les Ross' at Preston this morning - Mr Ross (who is a local radio celebrity at home) was on the platform overseeing the shunting movements of "him". 46115 was looking absolutely stunning when it produced at the station at 8:30 to take on water at the south end of platform 7, before blinding us all with steam as it took on Load 11 without insurance - she was working beautifully.

EDIT: Because it was a kettle, there were some very, very odd gentlemen there (including oneself).

One of the flailers on this occasion was wearing a full balaclava with safety goggles and a camcorder. w***.

[welshdragon]

no i wasn't flailing, and it wasn't anything to do with that. (i'd been up 58 hours, and was exhausted)
Oliver Cromwell, upon arrival at Sheffield and a wrong platform too (platform 2 instead of 1), had obviously too much pressure, as either her safety or blower were released, I've got it all on film, but need to edit it and am awaiting footage from my mum of The Wesh Dragon.
My sound editing skills will get put to good use, as apparently my mum had some problems.

There were plenty of small kitchen water heating appliances out yesterday... Weird.
