 Scotsman Crashes Into Scotsman - Duncan
A Scotsman has crashed into a Scotsman. No, it's not any afternoon in Sauchiehall Street.

This what happens when you let the Jocks play with trains.

In other news, no Englishmen collided.

It's old tribal rivalry. Flying Scotsman is an LNER locomotive, The Royal Scott is an LMS carriage set

Think Rangers and Celtic

This particular one seems to be based on rebuilt ECML Pullman cars.

The Flying Scotsman and the Royal Scot are the rival locomotives.

The Royal Scotsman is an amalgamation of the two names, and is a carriage set operated by the people who run the Orient Express.

My wife bought us a trip for my 70th birthday. It's eyewateringly expensive, but it was a wonderful trip.
The cabins have private facilities and are reputed to be far superior to the Orient Express.

No idea whats happening there, but thats far from a typical reverse couple manoeuvre. They are supposed to reverse to within a few feet, have a spotter on the track (someone with a PTS certificate) to guide the the last couple of feet. That was outright too fast.

The Flying Scotsman is OK by the way. one of the coaches not.

RAIB report published:

Pretty much as above; too fast and with no lookout.
