On about the Hatfield derailment, calling the train an intercity 225.

Shouldn't she be in a orange hi vis vest next to the line?

The leaves on the line was certainly an eye opener. Not a bad programme at all.
It's not the first time I've seen it referred to as Big Bang,
Big Bang is a different program entirely!
Whilst there might be minor factual errors, not that I spotted them, I did think it was a fascinating programme.
This is the sort of programme all commuters should be made to watch so they, myself included, appreciate what goes on.
One minor thing though, should they really have been cycling on a platform? That is dangerous and surely illegal, unless it's not illegal if you get permission. South West Trains have an announcement about cycling and skateboarding at stations being dangerous and against the law. Don't know which station was featured but probably not an SWT one.
But on the whole, good programme.

I quite liked that program, it was interesting and informative, I liked the bit about leaves on the line the most.
I can also say with certainty that she would have had permission to cycle on the platform at the time, I would assume that she only used the platform because it was the only convenient area of hardstanding around at the time.

Very interesting programme - though I missed the first few minutes which I need to go back to on iPlayer I think - the leaves on the line was far better demonstrated than when they did it with a Pacer on the other programme last year
I did spot an LED signal change from Green to Yellow :P
