Found the tweet  (although looking again at Graham's photo I think that *has* been inverted while being edited and posted)

It was admitted on twitter shortly after 800 008 was "rainbowed up" that the number transfer had been applied upside down.

In that case the warning flash to the right of the numbers is upside down as well...... Roll Eyes

My photo was inverted ... I had not been aware of the original having them done that way!   Times when fact and co-incidence is stranger than fiction!

Minutes later I was joined by another photographer who asked me if I had been asked about the steam train returning.  I told him I had.  He then retorted "I didn't tell him - he walked right in front of me when I was shooting the train!"


What was the purpose of that? the weird little man, honestly some people are such idiots.  Its not like hes going to draw a massive crowd by telling him, only a few people bother going to see the return that late on a Sunday anyway.
