What a Mrsvery disappointing day, particularly for children, who are excited beyond belief. Only to be so disappointed when the Flying Scotsman doesn’t arrive on the given route!!!!!!!!!!! There are many ways to advise enthusiasts of a change of plan. As they don’t want to be left standing around for hours, cameras and phones at the ready to record their memories, only to be left upset and disheartened!!!!!!!!!!! Suppose The Fat Controller should organise the next timetable for the Flying Scotsman!!!!!!!!
