    I was returning to Crewe this morning from stewarding duties yesterday, just checked RTT to see what time Scotsman was due in to water, it was 5 minutes after my arrival was scheduled, so had a stroll to platform 12 just as she rolled in.
    A lone policeman was there to control the frenzied crowds and had all of a dozen to hold back.......
    As it was a crew change there were more crew and staff around. First time I have seen her since she left Riley's and was very impressed. No pics as I did not have my camera with me..:(

    Thanks Alan, better than mine would have been, under the canopy in platform 12 is not the best of lighting conditions.
