Further to Varley's 'coolie' comment - You couldn't make it up:

Also, on local BBC news yesterday was a visit by Flying Scotsman to the Watercress line in Hampshire. The line has just reopened to the main because a bridge had to be replaced, just one bridge and it took British civil engineers two years to do it.


BTW the loco is 'Flying Scotsman', the train service by any train is 'The Flying Scotsman'. (no, I'm not an anorak just a tad pedantic).
