    Regardless of what colour it is, one thing we should all be thankful for is the fact that BLUE PETER is back in steam again for everyone to enjoy. A huge thanks and round of applause to the LSL Team for a fantastic achievement and to Mr.Hosking...

    Not quite John. The morning train has been 7 coaches for over a decade now, and remains so when a diesel needs to be involved for fire risk reasons (Thus making it Steam - Load 7 - Diesel on Rear). Passing a regular ScotRail train at Glenfinnan...
