    Not entirely sure what this is about. We were going off the proverbial shovel just now...

    Hope that 90mph sprint hasn't caused a problem.

    Looking at the Open Trains map, there doesn't seem to be anything ahead of you to cause a check

    Looking like the end of the tour. Let's just hope we aren't stuck here for too many hours!

    Oh, well. Don't know precisely what happened, but safety's the main thing.

    Currently in the middle of your worst nightmare for the A1ST and us on board. Have to say that nobody saw that one coming. You really do have to feel for everyone up front.

    It's somewhat of a secondary matter but we did run the 22 miles from Digswell in even time with a max of 91.

    Sadly it can only be worse to come from here if the crew are not prepared to limp Tornado to somewhere more convenient.
