    Cool, that would make a good pic, your Triumph with the flying Scotsman in the background. A triumph tag?

    That would require some photography skill I reckon.
    I have zero.
    A great idea though!

    Yes indeed.
    There were people wandering on and off the tracks where I watched from.
    Mainline trains were slowed down accordingly, must have cheesed a lot of travellers off
    Happens every time of course, eventually the powers that be will sadly come to the inevitable conclusion.
    It was a fantastic sight.

    If it wasn't so traumatic for the driver I'd say let trespassers get hit and killed for being so stupid. Darwinism and all that.

    The train was supposed to go to Paddington but was terminated at Reading as it was running 3 hours late.
    I did wonder why. Now I know!!
    Bloody idiots!! If brains were made of dynamite those twats wouldn't have enough to blow their caps off!
