I have to disagree. A 30 minute lovefest for the Flying Moneypit. To watch the programme you'd be forgiven for thinking FS was the only working steam loco operating, when really there are quite a lot, none of which, or the volunteers working on them, get the attention the Moneypit gets.
Other steam locomotives gets lots of attention, we had the Santa specials over Christman which brought out a lot of spectators and one special a few months earlier had spectators all the way along the route. |

Anyone else notice that on both episodes so far Michael hasn't had his mid episode sojourn for the night to a hostelry recommended by Bradshaw !
That episode of taking the Indian Civil Service exam was funny ............he's such a Ham ! |

I guess he could have alighted somewhere but I don't think the Flying Scotsman was doing more than one run which could have allowed him to resume the journey the next day. |

He'd hardly get the chance yesterday if he was doing London to Edinburgh non-stop! Plus, he only got as far as York!

There was a long time i.e. months between episodes 1 and 2
Episode 1 was filmed last February, episode 2 was much later in the year I see now he's essentially gone back to the start and is taking a more leisurely journey through the rest of the week and I'm sure he'll find an overnight stop mentioned in Bradshaws at some point. |

I love this programme and have watched all the series so far. Im enjoying this one but not as much, it dosent seem as interesting and sometimes a bit rushed. To me its coming across as if the makers are running out of options to cover in depth. I suppose theres only so many journeys that can be made around the country with historical interest.
