Delivery of the support coach for “Tornado”

 Arriving at Rushmoor depot a Mk1 Brake 2nd Class Coach BSK recently fitted with new “commonwealth” bogies and new wheel sets. Michael Portillo is waiting on Rushmoor platform to interview the “fat controller” 

Unfortunately Tornado’s tender bogie derailed reversing into the station delaying the interview. However the derailment was soon fixed.
