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!

The report of the family turning up laden down with luggage for their Christmas trip and unable to travel due to the strike was particularly poignant I thought.

Probably no great surprise in the quietness;  it's a Bank Holiday and strike day restart, with people (and especially none-regular leisure users) warned away by rail industry publicity, magnified by the press filling its pages and feeds with disproportionate dire warnings.

An opportunity missed - "The Great New Year Sale" - why not visit London and take in Oxford Street, Regent Street, Carnaby Street and Berwick Street ... three adults for the price of two, super-off-peak travel cards valid all day until January - just £23.30 a head including all the buses and undergrounds from Didcot ... buy separate day returns to Didcot such as an extra £13.20 from Melksham ...

The "opportunity missed" today is for just about all involved  -  the sales have started, so shops, restaurants, pubs etc will all be losing revenue thanks to the rail strikes - as well as the railway itself - although other businesses of course don't get bailed out by the taxpayer in these circumstances.
