In their first early report, I couldn't work out whether they were celebrating The Flying Scotsman (the train service) or the Flying Scotsman (the locomotive). Although the reporter was obviously trying to talk about the locomotive he kept referring to 'the Flying Scotsman train' and then when talking about breaking the 100mph barrier, he showed passengers enjoying dinner in the restaurant car.

Chances are that the reporter didn’t know both existed!
