    Flying Scotsman's premature return to the NRM this morning seems to have gone unnoticed. The usual Rail Adventure power cars led it from Shildon to Holgate Loop, York, followed up the ECML by another pair of power cars. These joined forces in Holgate so the the A3 was led onto the NRM top and tailed by two pairs of HST power cars. How weird is that?:mad:

    I assume you mean bad, but I've become so immersed in Gen-Z slang that my initial thought was you meant good! (Maybe you do!)

    Seemed to be working fine when passing Winwick on Thursday and online videos suggest no problems throughout. One lineside suggestion is that LSL has identified the cause of the (reported) bearing problem and is working to find a solution

    I know nothing of such things. I'm not even sure who falls in Gen-Z. I think I count as a baby boomer.

    If you were born post war but pre-65 then yes.

    There’s a long history of using a word that conventionally means “bad” to mean “good”. When I was young we’d say something was “wicked” and mean it was good. My children will similarly say “that’s sick” to have the same meaning.
