    The parallels are remarkable. Cancelled trains, changing timetables, failure to reach the end of the line, obsessed with marketing, extortionate fares etc. Throw in overpaid management who know sod all about trains and the trophy is in the bag.

    My wife and I travelled behind her often back then. Some great runs, but for someone with many memories of BR steam out of Waterloo, all were evocative, especially as the coaches hadn't been tarted up much.
